This is about the time that my protestant Scotch-Irish family came to America. Ireland is pretty, but I wouldn't want to live there!
Pretty expensive today.

If you use the word 'Scotch' to describe people in Scotland you'll more than likely get a punch in the gob. Scotch is a drink, people are Scots so Scots-Irish is ok, but not Scotch-Irish. So says my Scots brother in law anyway! ;-)
"Scotch" is a kind of whiskey. Scots are correctly referred to as Scots (or Scottish).
the Guiness is fresher there.
