* AbortedArc: In the 70s strips, Maggie met and quickly got engaged to Dave [=McKay=]. The wedding was rehearsed, a house was bought and the guest list was ready to go. The entire storyline was suddenly dropped at the end of 1979 and Dave was never seen or mentioned again. DC Thomson even went as far as to completely remove all mentions of their engagement from the compilation books. The 2012 release "Classic Books From The 70s" finally acknowledged this and Dave's fate was revealed in a brand new strip.

** Where Auchenshoogle actually is geographic-wise seems to vary on the writers and artists. Early Watkins strips explicitly said it was in Glasgow and both the family and Oor Wullie walked to the Glasgow Empire Exhibition. Later in Watkins run the town became more generic. During Tom Lavery's run, a strip showed an address label on a box of prunes clearly saying Dundee. The 80s returned to a vague location with the exception of a strip where the family went to the Glasgow Garden Festival (again, they walked home). Ken H Harrison's strips seemed to place Auchenshoogle somewhere in the Highlands. Nowadays, they've settled on Glasgow again (made explicitly clear in an Oor Wullie strip where he cycles to Loch Lomond). Despite this, the town shares a lot of traits with Dundee.

The strip's Scottish setting and heavy use of the Glaswegian dialect are its main selling points, so the dialogue's near-incomprehensibility to outsiders isn't really a problem. A close third is the 'nostaligia factor' of Scots retirees and working-age people. The Broons and its sister strip, "''Oor Wullie''", continue to sell well enough to merit annual releases in Scotland. Both strips and their sales are somewhat indicative of a recent cultural movement in Scotland which favours Scottish authors, fiction, and even history - including, if not especially, in Scottish schools.
