...is a person afraid of the dark, according to Fear of the dark. Will remove this from the main text for the time being. Leushenko (talk) 14:14, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

It also means fear of Scots. I have cited this and will be sorting out a dab for this soon. Colonel Warden (talk) 20:50, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

Its means fear of the dark Scotophobia in relation to Scotland is a neologism --Barryob (Contribs) (Talk) 20:54, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

The prefix Scoto- to mean Scottish goes back centuries and the OED has multiple examples of the Scotophobia usage in reference to Scotland. It is an established usage. Colonel Warden (talk) 21:43, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

Yes Scoto is used for things that relate to Scotland it but still it does not stop the term Scotophobia being a neologism, try a google search without dark and darkness and have to include the words scotland only 554 results --Barryob (Contribs) (Talk) 03:02, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
