Rusty Dobro | BS: The Term 'Scotch-Irish' (42) | RE: BS: The Term 'Scotch-Irish' | 08 May 19 |
Until the mid 19th century, 'Scotch' was the adjective used on both sides of the border - Scotch beef, Scotch Express or Mail (trains), Scotch mist, Scotch broth, etc. Then along came Prince Albert who married Queen Victoria, and the UK went mad for all things German, including his use of the word 'scottisch', which became 'scottish'. |
