OUTLANDER author Diana Gabaldon has clarified a tweet in which she claimed that the SNP were responsible for the word “Scotch” falling out of use in Scotland.
The American author was responding to a query from a fan who was interested in the kind of hat Sam Heughan’s character Jamie was wearing in an episode of the Outlander TV series.
Gabaldon said the hat was a "Scotch bonnet", which is more often referred to as a tam o’ shanter.
