Manx Battalion Royal Scots 1915

My Grandfather served with the Royal Scots in France and Belguim during WW1. I have often wondered how he came to be in a Scottish Regiment and not an English Regiment like the Kings, the regular recruiters on the Island. I have recently found that a Royal Scots recruitment team came to the Island in 1915 to raise a Manx Battalion of 500 men. Can anyone tell me more about this?
