laravel 5 primary key column not named id

Im trying to migrate our current application over to Laravel-5.
This app has quite a big structure with many tables, but way less than half of the tables has a primary key called id.
Is this a problem or can you manualy specify what you want your primary key to be called.
Its just that from the training videos I am doing, it seems like no.

You can use

protected $primaryKey = 'Your_Primary_key';

In the Models.

Sure, just add $table->primary('field') to your database shema as mentioned here: http://laravel.com/docs/5.0/schema#adding-indexes
