For instance the fact that the Civil Code of Spain, which has its origin medieval Castilian law, applies in almost all Spain, from Andalusia to Madrid. But it doesn't apply to Catalonia, where the Civil Code of Catalonia applies instead, which has its origin in medieval Catalan civil law.

As you can see, the relationship with Aberdeenshire doesn't make much sense.
