Glasgow/Boston announcement at the Haven hasn't started yet, but they're gearing up.

OK, Knox was not a Scotsman, he was born in Boston. But his parents were Scotch.

Scot. A Scot is a person. Scotch is a thing. Scotch whisky. Scotch eggs. Scotch parsimony.

Yes, I've been dreading making this mistake, my apologies to Scots and Scotch eggs everywhere.

More Boston/Scotland ties: Roslindale is named after a Scottish village. Alexander Graham Bell, Edinburgh native, made the first phone call EVAH in downtown Boston while a professor at BU. And JP/WR City Councilor Ben Weber's grandfather was born in Glasgow.
