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.
蘇格蘭人(指人)
組成From Old English Scottas, which then meant people from Ireland. That came from Late Latin Scotti. The name later came to mean the people of Scotland.
