Scottish language

Scottish (Scots (Scottish Gaelic: Beurla Ghallda/Albais, Scots: Scots)) is a West Germanic language variety spoken in Scotland and parts of Ulster in Ireland (where the local dialect is known as Ulster Scots). It is sometimes called Lowland Scots to distinguish it from Scottish Gaelic, the Goidelic Celtic language that was historically restricted to most of the Highlands, the Hebrides and Galloway after the 16th century
