The worst that could happen is that some Scotsman will notice you've moved Prestwick to the land of "the auld enemy".

Wonder why we Yanks got in so much trouble when we went over there?

I made my wife watch this on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AgUOK2f7P_o. As most of you have heard, her father went over there before 12/7/41 to help the Brits set up their "Gee" system.
