Sir Walter Scott

Walter almost single-handedly re-invented Scotland in the early 19th century, creating through his writing the romantic, kilt-swirling, bagpipe playing, huntingshootingfishing playground image that sticks to this day. He has a lot to answer for, although "Ivanhoe" was a no bad wee yarn admittedly.

Scott of the Antarctic

Famous for coming second in a two-horse race to discover the South Pole. Don't know why he bothered though, as anybody could have told him it's the icy bit right in the middle at the bottom of the earth where nobody in their right minds would ever want to go. Brrrrrrrrrrr!

Scottie from "Star Trek"

Where would the Galaxy be without the catch-phrase, "The enjins'll no take it Cap'n!" Scottie had a Scottish accent that was truly out of this world, presumably as a result of sniffing too many Dilithium crystals.

Mike Scott

Supremely talented Scottish singer and musician, previously of the "Waterboys".

Terry Scott

Supremely untalented English comedian, whose legacy to the world was the truly buttock-clenchingly awful suburban sitcom "Terry & June", which hilariously starred Terry as a man called "Terry" and June Whitfield as a woman called "June". My, how we laughed

Scott's Porage Oats

The staple breakfast diet of virtually no Scot we've ever met. However, in spite of looking like fresh warm sick without the carrots and tomato skins, the tourists lap it up, and it'll be found on every breakfast menu in every Guest House and Hotel in the land. Personally, we wouldn't feed it to a horse.

Scotch

Scotch is the name given to genuine Scottish whisky. It should never, ever, be applied to the people of Scotland, as in, he's "a Scotch man". All this means is "a man who drinks Scotch." Scots may be described as being Scottish or Scots, but absolutely definitely not Scotch. Please, get it right in future. It's really not that difficult a distinction to grasp, even for Americans.
