You'll be fine. The Scottish ale yeast is really just a low attenuating neutral ale yeast so using 1272 will just get you a little lower of a final gravity then the style would normally call for.

Ya I would say mash high and ferment at the cold side of 1272's recommendations. At the end of the day it will be a good wee heavy.
