Indeed ! Usually the types that learned Scottish history from the Braveheart movie. These people were born to take offense. Despite the fact that Robert Burns and Sir Walter Scott frequently referred to the inhabitants as Scotch......as did my dear old wee Scotch granny, and who in their right mind would have argued with her ?

A Scot is a person. Scotch is for things - whisky, eggs, tape, mist.
2004 900 - Blue with lots of goodies
2012 900 - Still adding shiny bits. Was black, changed to white and now back to black again.
