Here in Scotland it fair gets oor dander up ( annoys us!! ) when people
refer to us as "Scotch" or our language. It may be an archaic usages -but
I'd advise anyone coming to Scotland not to use it at all ( even for
whisky!! ) -as there is little more that will annoy people or get you
sniggers in return- as people will feel you are ignorant of them and their
culture!!!
