Thread Name: BS: The adjective 'Scotch'
Subject: RE: BS: The adjective 'Scotch'
My Mamma (now 82 born and raised in Virginia) said that we are of Scots-Irish descent on her mother's (born and raised in West Virginia) side.

That is the way I learned it at my mother's knee. Scotch as in butterscotch and Scots as in people of Scotland.
