Well, you see, one of the Robin Hood theories postulates that he was the Earl of Huntingdon, and one of the brothers of one of the scottish kings was granted the Earldom of Huntingdon, so Robin Hood is not only Scottish, but brother of the king, to boot! (not Bobby Bruce, though, I've not heard that one).
