I am sure Smith didn't see the Wealth of Nations as a blueprint for any   
particular country or region - the 'the obvious and simple system of   
natural liberty' is entirely general. His examples are drawn from Great   
Britain as a whole, from its component parts (England and Scotland), and   
other places (France, the American colonies, etc.). If he was addressing   
himself to any political body it was the British Parliament - separate   
English and Scottish bodies did not exist. His intellectual context was   
Scottish, of course, though not narrowly or exclusively so, but that is not   
the same as having a 'blueprint' for Scotland as opposed to anywhere else.  
  
Incidentally, Scot Stradley's terminology is in fact correct - it was 'the   
Brits', that is to say, anti-Catholic, anti-Jacobin 'Brits' of both sorts,   
English and Scottish, who took revenge against those parts of the highlands   
which had supported the Jacobin uprising. Smith would not have had much   
sympathy for the Catholic, divine-right, absolutism of the Jacobins.
