WOE do you mean by 'Swiss' - the field is wide open - or does this refer to the American usage? "Swiss cheese is a generic name for several related varieties of cheese which resemble the Swiss Emmental." (Wikipedia) I've never heard it as a generic over here.Here's what is referred to as "Swiss Cheese" in the US. http://www.dreamstime.com/photos-images/swiss-cheese.html I don't know how you refer to this cheese in Scotland, or how the people of Switzerland would refer to it either. If I ever move to either of those countries I will be sure to learn the correct way to refer to my favorite cheese. Meanwhile, I live in Florida so I'm going to keep calling it "swiss cheese" so that the people in the deli know what the he11 I'm ordering.

Sort-of Emmenthaler, then. Ask for Swiss cheese in any UK shop and you'll certainly be asked 'Emmenthaler or Gouda?', probably Raclette and if in a deli, several others.
