They seem quite clear (and perfectly good as they are) to me and cover two possible anomalies that Alex McFarlane raised: 1. if born "outside" Scotland you still qualify by having at some (any) time "resided" in Scotland for 2 yrs (1 yr if junior), thus covering against a "true" Scot that just "happens" to have been born outside Scotland; 2. they allow Anglo-Scots to play even if they haven't "resided" in Scotland for years (as long as they remain paid up CS members - which covered me for decades when living in Germany and England).
