These domains are all devolved government subdomains managed by the UK's Jisc's JANET service, who provide a separate whois service for their registry. This can be confirmed by running: > $ dig gov.wales SOA > $ dig llyw.cymru SOA > $ dig gov.scot SOA In turn these return answers like this: > llyw.cymru. 3600 IN SOA ns0.ja.net. operations.ja.net. 2021091730 28800 7200 3600000 600 > gov.wales. 3600 IN SOA ns0.ja.net. operations.ja.net. 2021091730 28800 7200 3600000 600 > gov.scot. 3600 IN SOA ns0.ja.net. operations.ja.net. 2021101560 28800 7200 3600000 14400 To validate that whois.ja.net responds for these domains, see: > $ whois -h whois.ja.net service.gov.wales > $ whois -h whois.ja.net eryri.llyw.cymru > $ whois -h whois.ja.net www.gov.scot For comparison, whois.ja.net is already explicitly set within jwhois.conf for .gov.uk, also managed by Jisc.

Changes look correct. The three subdomain entries (.gov.wales, .llyw.cymru, .gov.scot) are properly indented with double-tabs to indicate they are sub-entries of their parent TLDs, consistent with the existing style (e.g. .gov.uk entries). The PR description provides solid validation steps using dig and whois commands.
