More specifically: if John Uskglass is Norman, does he accept the Scottish annexation of Lothian in 1018? If not, then - at least until the Treaty of York in 1237 - everything up to Edinburgh is English in the Raven King's eyes.

Bearing in mind that the only Scottish founder of Hogwarts was literally named Ravenclaw (and has a French-sounding name besides), I think he could make a compelling case.

(And okay, yeah, Hogwarts is apparently well north even of that boundary. But I maintain the point about Rowena, and I think it wouldn't be at all out of character for the Raven King to have an outpost in foreign territory.)
