1. 1蘇格蘭人(指人)

    A Scot is a person from Scotland. You can say a Scot, or the Scots for the people as a group. Though actually the history is a little surprising: a long time ago, Latin speakers used this name for people from Ireland; later it settled on the people of Scotland. Today it only means someone Scottish. Around it sit Scottish (the usual adjective: Scottish weather, a Scottish writer) and Scots (the people, or the language). Many people in Scotland do not like being called Scotch — they keep Scotch for the drink, and a few foods.
