Yes, the article refers to what are called turnips (or neeps) in Scotland, i.e. the big yellowish ones that you make neeps and tatties with. I think they're known as swedes in England (although swede in Scotland often refers to the small white ones which I think are called turnips in England).

Yes, it can be very confusing. My late wife was from Orkney and I am from Wiltshire where turnips are relatively small white root vegetables that are typically fed to livestock so there was plenty of scope for confusion. Not to mention that what I call a bun she called a cookie which got extra confusing when we visited the US.
