I have one doubt,
"Scotland" is Object of the Prepositional Phrase
"in the western Scotland". Is it possible that an Object of Preposition can act as antecedent to a pronoun?
If true can you give some examples also.
The antecedent of a pronoun can be the object of a preposition. Consider SC44 in the OG12:
The plot of The Bostonians centers on the rivalry that develops between OLIVE CHANCELLOR, an active feminist, and BASIL RANSOM, her charming and cynical cousin, when THEY find themselves drawn to the same radiant young WOMAN whose talent for public speaking has won HER an ardent following.
In the OA,
they (subject pronoun) refers to
Oliver Chancellor and
Basil Ransom (both objects of the preposition
between);
her (object pronoun) refers to
woman (object of the preposition
to).
