Scotch is an
adjective meaning "of
Scotland". The modern usage in Scotland is
Scottish or
Scots, and the word "Scotch" is only applied to specific products, mostly food or drink, such as
Scotch whisky,
Scotch pie,
Scotch broth, and
Scotch eggs. "Scotch" applied to people is widely considered pejorative in Scotland, reflecting old Anglo-Scottish antagonisms, but it is still occasionally used in England, though the usage is considered old-fashioned, and
Ireland, and is in common use in
North America.
