Ireland and Scotland are like two cousins who get on but never want to stay at the other persons house.

[@toomuch9762]

What? Scottish people settled in Ireland and Irish people went to Scotland throughout history. Where do you think Scottish gaelic comes from? Its an Irish language. And one of scotlands biggest football clubs Celtic was founded by Irish immigrants

[@CME1994]

@@toomuch9762 your an idiot. Scotland has its own version of Gaelic called Scots Galic a completely different language. This idea that Scotland came from Ireland is a heap of absolute shite. We are our own people originally called the Picts and Irish was the gaels. Facts. But yes the 2 countries are celtic cousins.

I think there is a debate as to where Whiskey/Whisky comes from? It may have actually originated in continental Europe and brought to Ireland and Scotland via the monks? Distillation is first mentioned in Ireland in 1405 and in Scotland in 1494.....

[@MrSchizoid405]

Yeah, it originated in Ireland, and also the spelling used in America indicates its Irish origin there too. Irish whiskey has the E while Scottish and British whiskey is spelled whisky without the E. Also in the 19th-century whiskey was not considered Scottish but solely Irish, it wasn't until prohibition that the Scottish whisky industry came about after the Irish one went under.

[@tennessee_tom6126]

@@MrSchizoid405 there is no such thing as ‘British’ whiskey. Whiskey was invented in Scotland by friar John Corr. We also do it far better. Who’s stuff is on the top shelf ? 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@gazdoyle7857]

Distallation was invented in the middle east, the Arabic cultures back then were obsessed with perfume, invented distallation to get the essential oils from flowers. Irish monks who were people of learning and knowledge saw this technique and wondered what would happen if they used beer instead of flowers and boom Whiskey in its first form was created

[@cathalodiubhain5739]

Ireland in the Early Christian period (A.D. 400-1177) was made up of at least 120 chiefdoms, usually described in surviving documents as petty kingdoms, typically having about 700 warriors. One of these petty kingdoms was Dál Riata, which occupied a corner of County Antrim, the island's northeastern most part. Around A.D. 400, people from Dál Riata began to settle across the Irish Sea along the Scottish coast in County Argyll. Other Irish migrants were also establishing footholds along the coast farther south, as far as Wales and even Cornwall, but the migrants from Dál Riata were especially noteworthy because they were known to the Romans as "Scotti" and they would eventually give their Gaelic language and their name to all of what is now known as Scotland. Dál Riata apparently established themselves along the west coast without much opposition. By A.D. 490 the population of Scotti was large enough that the head of the little kingdom moved the family seat across from Ireland. The Scotti alternately cooperated with and fought against the Picts for the next few centuries until the two were unified into a single kingdom under Cináed (Kenneth) mac Ailp'n in A.D. 844. After that the Pictish language disappeared, along with the symbol stones and other archaeological traits that had distinguished them from the Scotti.

[@philbradshaw7650]

The Scotti we're the warriors who followed the Egyptian princess Scotia to Ireland when her husband was killed in battle there.

[@philbradshaw7650]

In Ptolemy first map of Europe, he actually calls Ireland Scotia.. The Rómáns called Scotland Caledonia, and Ireland Hibernia.

[@roymunson1]

Brilliant, I loosely knew all of this, but you guys pieced it together perfectly, and was a great read. Basically the irish went over there and showed them what's what! Nutters. At least they brought whiskey with them and not tea.

[@MrSchizoid405]

Whiskey originated in Ireland, not scotland along with Guinness. Iron bru didn't originate in Scotland btw. Bagpipes aren't scottish we have them in Ireland also. Tartan isn't scottish either. The loch ness monster is far less mythical and famous than the leprechaun and it was an Irishman who invented the loch ness monster. St patricks day > St Andrews day. There's no metric in which scotland is better than Ireland it's outclassed in everyway. American whiskey comes from Irish whiskey hence spelled with an E as opposed to British spelling. Unless you're talking about the country bumpkin crap. Even by cartoonish stereotypes Ireland wins. Ireland is its own landmass and slightly bigger. Irelands scenery is more beautiful and varied. Ireland is 6 times richer than scotland.

All historical findings show that whiskey and earlier more crude variations originated in Ireland. Take the testimony of a scab nose 20 year old living in his ma's house the way they have everything in Scotland, with a pinch of salt.

Aren't the Scottish basically descendants of Irish tribes that came over and settled centuries ago. So most Scots are therefore probably Irish in some way.

@@chriswhamilton incorrect, Scots are there own people called the Picts Irish are the gaels. Read a fucking book and stop insulting people’s heritage.
