Yeasts for Scottish Ale?

[Peruvian802]

I kept my recipe from last year's Scottish Ale /60, but I didn't write down the yeast I used. I have Notty, US05, Ringwood, Windsor, and Conan in the fridge right now and don't think I'll bother to buy a 'Scottish Ale Yeast' given my options.

Which one would you recommend and why?

Of those, I'd probably use Nottingham fermented cool (60ish), although I'm not familiar with Conan.

Definitely not Conan, which has an ester profile (peach!) at odds with the relatively clean maltiness of normal Scottish beers. Nottingham would certainly work, as would US05; both are clean. Ringwood and Windsor are both English-style yeasts, right? You could use them, but you'd wind up with something a little different. I'd recommend, if you use those, to stay at the bottom end of their fermentation range.

After reading more, I decided on US05 and am fermenting at 62 degrees.

I just bottled today and even un-carbonated, this is going to be an excellent beer.
