Ian,

Well, all I have to say is that "scotch" is a drink. I have been around too
many people from Scotland to even utter the words "Scotch" around them, or
any other people from Sctoland.

But thank you for the information. It is interesting that there is not more
Gaelic influence. I thought that there was a great deal of it, but now I
think asides from Anglo-Saxon, the most influence would be Scandinavian, and
then Gaelic.
