I heard about a language called Scots. It's said to be close to English, spoken in Scotland and different from Scottish English. As far as I know, it's not a dialect or a variety of English but a brother language, just like French and Walloon. I went to Scotland (should I say Shhhhcotttland ) years ago, but didn't hear that language.
Who can tell us more? |

Thank you. I knew the title "Auld lang Syne" and the poem by Roberts Burns (seemingly the English version) but not the story behind, nor the existence of Scots. |

From what I have seen, Scot is mainly spoken in southern Scotland. In the North and western Islands, over 50 percent inhabitants speak Gaelic. Anywhere else, people speak Scotish English ; that is English with regional accents (which can be very different whether you are in Glasgow or Edinburgh or Abedeen...) and regional lexicon.
Scots is also said to be descendant from English and Old Norse (as spoken by Scandinavian invaders) |

"Scottish" is an adjective
"Scots" and 'Lallans" are versions of English spoken in Scotland: see
http://www.lallans.co.uk/
where you can also hear a recording of a poem |
