Interestingly, it shows that Scotland is 220V, 50Hz and uses only the
square-pin UK plug.  The 'UK and Ireland' are apparently 240V, 50Hz and
also use a round-pin plug (old UK 5A type?).  While I'm sure some folk this
side of the border will be delighted to see Scotland listed separately from
the UK, we'll need to watch out for the 20V drop at the border :-)

[For information of those far from Europe, Scotland _is_ part of the UK,
and all of EU is now 230V +/-10%, 50Hz, but several different types of
mains socket.  The old type of unfused round pin plug are still sometimes
used throughout the UK for lighting, but this is getting rarer]

It's still a useful reference but as Morgan says, use with caution...
probably compiled from a pile of information from various sources, and
somewhat out of date.
