Quick Strategy to cheese the Scottish at beginning
1) Grab your fleet and send them to the Northern Sea and Irish Channel 50/50.

2) Wait for enemy to capture Isle of man and move onto siegeing Cumberland and Northumberland

3) Move your troops through Isle of man into Ayrshire (around ~15k+, but enough for the enemy to take the bait)

4) Either after finishing a siege or just outright -the enemy will attack your stack at Ayrshire. Move around 2/3 of troops into the battle.

5) Wait for your morale to drop around half and send the rest of your troops (from Isle of man) to participate in the battle.

6) Winning the battle -the enemy should send his troops fleeing into the northernmost province of Western Isles.

7) Send around ~20k units to the province of Wick or the one that is adjacent to the Western Isles province.

8) After completing the siege at Wick, the enemy is unable to move across the narrow straight as long as you keep your fleet stationed in it.

9) Siege and make peace with however many provinces you dare.

TIPS

1) Switch focus to military and wait for a general for easier ride, however this strategy is not dependant on generals. You could also get war taxes with it.

2) At the start of game disband a few horseman to bring the outrageous maintenance costs down. The number of troops disbanded should not exceed 5. The strategy relies on victory over a specific battle and to do so you need numbers, after the initial battle you can disband more troops (unless you have other uses for them) to rack up money.

3) If you're planning on taking rivals such as Castile, I suggest sending a diplomat to build spy network from the start of the game. Maybe ally nations such as Portugal and Aragon.
