0But is it so wrong? I used the term because that's what I've been told by some reliable source where he, from Birmingham used the term Scottishman for a Scot 050010id7

00You can say 'A Scottish man', but as one word you must say a 'Scotsman'. Scots people are touchy about this kind of thing.02br

02br
00"There's an Englishman, an Irishman, and a Scotsman..."02br

0 Back at your place, do you use 'it' or 'she'? 'He' sounds awkward for me though. 0-

0Listening to the audio file it is clearly a child speaking - an English child - and he has made a little mistake with Scottish man. I suppose it seems logical to a kid -English man, Irish man, Scottish man. He stumbles over the word too, so is not familiar with it. But the correct word is Scotsman (often pronounced Scotchman).02br
