Why do the Scottish find being called Scotch offensive? JillianE 03:39, 10 October 2005 (UTC) Guess that it's the same reason Chinese hate to be called 'Chink', Japanese 'Jappo', an so on. --Bogdanbiv 13:03, 22 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Scotch as a plural noun for the people of Scotland is incorrect.

The correct term for the people of Scotland is Scottish. Scotch is a drink.

Why this article doesn't include anything on Scotch Tape (wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scotch_Tape)? --Bogdanbiv 13:03, 22 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Scotch eggs[edit]

Just a note that "scotch eggs" are not of Scottish origin, they were invented by Fortnum & Masons in London. The use there is from the obsolete verb form "to cover". --80.229.18.128 12:51, 16 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
