Notes

- A deleted scene from this episode shows that upon returning from Scottland, Homer has a Scottish accent. This scene was removed because Homer's accent sounded too much like Groundskeeper Willie's.
- This is the second time Micheal McKean guest starred on The Simpsons. The first time was in The Otto Show in which he played himself along with the rest of Spinal Tap.
Goofs
