   I enjoyed reading your Scots. Actually an large number of Cumbric words have   
   been preserved in Scots and English, Cumbric is as Scottish as it is   
   Northern English, and it all helps to stress the uniqueness in Scotland as a   
   great Celtic nation. By the way, concerning your , is that from Scotch   
   or Irish. I prefer Irish Whiskey to Scottish Whisky, but what the hell,   
   whatever sails your boat over rough seas.
