I smiled when I saw the use of the word "Scotch" in this context. Here have I been telling people all my working life in Africa that I am Scottish, or even Scots, but certainly not "Scotch". But at the same time reminding them that Scotch comes in a bottle and is Scotland's second best export...after its leading export, its people! Perhaps this certificate made its way to the museum from the USA as there people still insist that Scottish people are indeed "Scotch".
