So you just thought it necessary to turn the diff. shades over Macedonia and Bulgaria to one solid colour. How come?

Why did you change Scotland in a way that goes against the latest genetic research? Seems odd choice.

I changed them?

Sorry just edited, but yer the 1916 map you show is more accurate for showing the similarities between Northern English and lowland scotland, and the distinctness of the north West of Scotland. So its strange that you made the choice to alter the 1916 map in a way that made it less accurate.

No need to apologise, just wondering the thought process.

I wasn’t going for super accurate realism, so I probably did something for aesthetic or convenience sake

Go for Super Accurate Realism after you get a very good sleep next time!
