What is the difference between Scottish Gaelic and Scots language

The difference between Scottish Gaelic and Scots language is quite distinct. Scottish Gaelic is an ancient Celtic language that has been in use in Scotland since at least the 4th century AD, while Scots language is a dialect of English that was introduced to Scotland during the Middle Ages. The two languages have some similarities, such as similar vocabularies, pronunciations and syntax. However, they are quite distinct in their writing systems, grammar rules, and syntax.

How difficult is the Scottish Accent?

The Scottish Accent can be notoriously difficult to understand for many people. Depending on the region and individual, the accent can vary greatly, from soft and gentle to quite guttural and hard-to-decipher. This means that some Scots may find it difficult even understanding those with a different regional dialect of their own accent!
