Looks great. I've never used near that much roasted and it always is a bit too roasty for my tastes. But style-wise, I hear they put up to 3% in, so go for it.
I also like a small hop addition around 15m, but that's just me.

I now figure this is WAAAY to much roasted barley. Ill cut it down to 2% definitely. As for the hops at 15 minutes, it defeats the purpose of a scottish: ALL MALT. Mmmmmm.
