A Eligibility:
1 Those with Scottish nationality regardless of residence.
2 Those permanently resident in Scotland for one year immediately preceding the date of the Championship *
3 Those who have competed in the Championship (with eligibility to become Scottish Champion) within the previous five years.
In addition to one of the above the player must be a member of Chess Scotland at the beginning of the event. *
The term “permanently resident” does not include university students or other such residence of a transitory nature.
Until a grandparent is accepted by BICC, I don't think Matthew satisfies 1. I doesn't satisfy 2 or 3. Why don't you ask the International director?
