I used to brew Scotch Ale for export to the US (two versions - one for Texas and one for elsewhere) and a strong scotch ale for home consumption when I was a brewery production manager in Scotland. I like your choice of hops (we would have stuck to Fuggles and Goldings etc) but your malt bill is a little bit more complicated than we would have bothered with! A simpler all grain grist might be 12lb 12oz PA malt, 6oz Std. Xtal malt, 3oz black malt and 1lb 8oz golden sugar.
