Hello: Maybe Mel Evans can answer these questions if he is out there.
I have always wondered if the formerly very popular children's game known as "hopscotch" has its origins in Scotland. I used to play this game when I was a child. Almost every kid played at hopscotch way back then. I haven't seen children playing this game in several decades. I would teach them how to play if I could ever recall the rules and the proper specifications for the chalk diagrams and the rhyming chants and intonations that are all part of the game. I do remember that the rules were somewhat complicated. Also I have always wondered if "butterscotch" is something that comes down to us from the traditions of candy-making in Scotland.
