Everybody else received a very loud alarm on their phone and this message?

Answering my own question - News reports say the alarms arrived on phones in England and Wales. (Except for the reports saying the alarms went out "nationwide". Do they know something about Scottish Independence that the SNP haven't heard yet? Also, there is someone asking on the net "Can you have wildfires in Scotland?" No, dear, they have passed a law banning them. They don't dare cross the border illegally.)

Nothing yet on my phone, neither mobile nor terrestrial. Maybe they think there isn't enough sunshine up here to dry out the vegetation and make it vulnerable. Tell that to them in the Cairngorms, or even on Arthur's Seat in the middle of Edinburgh.
