For other uses, see Scotch (disambiguation), Scottish (disambiguation), or Scots (disambiguation). Scotch is an adjective meaning "of Scotland", now usually considered pejorative by Scots. Common contemporary usage is Scottish or Scots, but 'Scotch' is still in contemporary use outside Scotland without being considered archaic or pejorative. Many Scots consider that the word "Scotch" should only be applied to specific products, usually food or drink, such as scotch whisky, scotch pie, scotch broth or scotch eggs.
