Does the whisky have to be Irish or American?

DCubed I came across this thread while looking for something from a different board! I wonder, could this possibly be the one you referred to? Nice coincidence if it is!

Wow! Thanks all for so many links and so many ideas to support my campaign. Of course a big university is probably not going to listen to one student, but if nobody ever speaks up, they'll go on not teaching Scots, and giving it only a passing mention. It was interesting that in the Celtic Languages department there are only 2 units (that amounts to one year) of Scottish Gaelic, but several years of study in Irish Gaelic and also several years of Welsh. This, combined with not even teaching Scots, results in just about ignoring Scottish literature. While this is an American university, I am talking about bloody Harvard and their supposed to be a university of international stature! Celyn, that was the thread from the past that I was thinking of and it sure has some good points in it. Thanks!
