Sounds good but why the California Ale (White Labs #WLP001) Yeast?

Because Jamil says it works good for Scottish beer

, so now everyone uses it. I don't understand it and someone points out what Jamil says every time I say that a Scottish Ale should have Scottish yeast

I actually emailed Jamil recently because I was making a Scottish 80 Schilling and wanted to pitch on a cake of WLP004 that I had, and wanted his opinion. He said it would be fine, but to be true to style the Irish Ale yeasts actually give off more diacetyl and fruit esters than are desirable in a Scottish Ale, which really should be accentuating the maltiness and not additional yeast flavor contributions.

That's why I use Wyeast 1728 Scottish Ale yeast

In his reply back to me Jamil said that the 001 is still the best.

WLP004, although it is Irish Ale yeast, is, according to White Labs write-up, ideal for both Irish and Scottish Ales. Although those write-ups are more about marketing than about pragmatism.
