“It is an Irish name but there are lots of Irish in Scotland.
Scotland derives its name from the Scoti tribe of Ireland. In a sense, the Irish invented the Scots.”
And why wouldn’t they have? We invented Scotch too. :-)
Although I prefer Tullamore DEW.
My people are Celts and were there before the Scots arrived. That’s why we don’t have “Mac” before our Clan name.
It is said in Scotland, that we were the first to raise smoke and boil water on the braes of Glenorchy.
