Question

if ur from scotland r u called scotch or scottish?

Answer 1

SCOTTISH, or SCOTS.

The adjective or noun Scotch is an early modern English (16th century) contraction of the English word Scottish which was later adopted into the Scots language. It more or less replaced Scottish as the prevailing term in England. Scots (the modern Scots language form of early Scots Scottis) predominated in Scotland until the 18th century when anglicisation became fashionable and Scotch came to be used in both England and Scotland.

From the early 19th century, however, Scots or Scottish increasingly became the preferred usages among educated Scottish people.

Burns wrote of himself in 1787, "The appellation of a Scotch Bard, is by far my highest pride", and in 1788 "Apropos, is not the Scotch phrase Auld lang syne exceedingly expressive?
