Scotsmen
Caber tossers, perhaps
Scotsmen is the plural of Scotsman—men from Scotland or of Scottish descent.
The term appears in contexts ranging from ethnic identity to stereotype: Three Scotsmen walked into a bar.
The singular Scotsman and plural Scotsmen remain standard, though Scot and Scots are more common in contemporary usage.
