Thanks for that information. Never having been to either Ireland or Scotland that's something I have no knowledge of. Checking the phrase out in at least half a dozen dictionaries and reference books online it seems Ireland has claimed it as their's but Scotland also makes a claim to it.
I was hoping someone with definitive knowledge about this could give their opinion, although I do have a feeling it would possibly be the same as given in reference books I have checked out.
