Le penne marchiate ''The Scotland'' sono in generale di ottima qualità, alla pari con quella dei migliori produttori della stessa epoca, inoltre, dato il periodo di vita piuttosto breve del marchio, sono anche abbastanza rare, cosa che le rende di elevato interesse collezionistico.

The history of the [[The Scotland]] brand is still very uncertain. In [[1920]] the two ''[[Stiassi e Tantini]]'' members founded also ''A.S.C.A.'', acronym of ''Azienda Specializzata in Cancelleria ed Affini'' (meaning ''Company Specialized in Stationery and Related''), and registered the company name ''The Scotland Pen Italiana'' with the Chamber of Commerce of Bologna, presumably by virtue of the strong anglophiles trends in the Italian market, which at the time saw many brands using english names. There are no know information about when production was effectively started, but it's generally assumed to be in the '20s.
