Australia, rings more bells in my head than the Scottish one. Btw, places that are more famous than their older homonyms:

Cartagena, Colombia > Cartagena, Spain
Guadalajara, Mexico > Guadalajara, Spain
Santiago, Chile > Santiago, Spain

And the opposite:

Córdoba, Spain > Córdoba, Argentina. Cordoba, Mexico
Valencia, Spain > Valencia, Venezuela
La Paz, Bolivia > La Paz, Mexico
London, UK > London, CA
Birgminham, UK > Birgmingham, USA
Paris, France > Paris, TX
