Yeh, ever hear a drunk Scottish person? Swear that’s a language all on it’s own.

Scots IS a language of its own

For the dialects of English spoken in Scotland, see Scottish English.

For the Germanic language which diverged from standard Middle English, see Scots language.

I think they were talking about Scottish English, not Scots.

There's also Scottish Gaelic, which seems to be often confused with Scots and Scottish English.

Then again, I'm not from Scotland and have never been near there, I'm just getting this from Wikipedia and from a few YouTube videos I watched some months/years ago.

Edit: wording

Best conversation I ever had in my life was with a drunk Scotsman. I couldn't understand a single word, but that wasn't necessary.
