Default caramel vs butterscotch

Ok. If I am supposed to have caramel in a dish, then I just buy some.
But today during the football game, I decided to try my hand at making
( microwave ) caramel. The result was of course dreadful, so I
decided to check on the net and see how I was supposed to make it.

Several recipes I came across used brown sugar.
I always thought that the main difference between butterscotch and
caramel is that butterscotch is made from brown sugar and
caramel from white. That seems not to be the main difference in how
you make them. So what is?
