Default Side or Flat V8

Folk over here tend to refer to V8s as flatheads pro rata. Am I right in saying the sidevalve V8 is the one where there are four cylinders at each side inclined at an angle and the flathead was literally that, with cylinders vertical? Was the flathead not the 4 and 6 cylinder version? I have always known the V8 as the sidevalve. Maybe the Scottish ones have had a wee bit of tinkering done on them!!
