I'm not sure he meant it as a "blueprint" for anywhere.  
  
On Smith in relation to Scotland and Scottish though in general, you  
might find the following worth a look:  
  
Fay, C[harles]. R. Adam Smith and the Scotland of His Day, Publications  
of the Department of Social and Economic Research No. 3, Cambridge  
University Press, 1956  
  
Macfie, A[lec]. L. (1955), "The Scottish Tradition in Economic Thought",  
Scottish Journal of Political Economy, II, pp. 81-103; reprinted in  
Idem, The Individual in Society: Papers on Adam Smith, University of  
Glasgow Social and Economic Studies, ns. No. 11, George Allen & Unwin,  
London, 1967, pp. 19-41   
  
There is, of course, now a huge literature on the Scottish Enlightenment  
in general, and the relation of Smith's thought to the broader Scottish  
thought of his time.
