Examples of Scottish in a Sentence

1. Alvin Tan:

   I don't think Brexit becomes a real issue until well into next year, in the Scottish referendum we had one big move following a poll that came out just before the referendum. Before then we had almost nothing.

2. Vincenzo Scarpetta:

   The problem with Sturgeon's plan is that she appears to assume that if there's a referendum on Scottish independence before Brexit, then Scotland can remain a member of the European Union, this is a legal headache for Europe. Clearly the European Commission's position is that in cases of secession, the newly created state would have to apply from scratch.

3. David Cameron:

   We are keeping our promise to the Scottish people.

4. Chief Executive Alistair Cox:

   There is uncertainty around the world, every time there's any election there will be a period where clients and candidates step back and slow down their decision making, we saw it with the Scottish referendum (in 2014), we saw it with the general election (last year), and I'm sure we will see it with an EU referendum that is imminent here.

5. Jeb Bush:

   I introduced Vladimir Putin to Barney. You remember Barney ? Scottish terrier. I was crazy about the little guy, anyway, so Vladimir Putin kinda dissed Vladimir Putin. Kinda looked at Vladimir Putin and Vladimir Putin body language was,' You call that thing a dog ?' Kinda hurt my feelings, but of course I was President of the United States and couldn't let anybody know United States.
