Scots is one of three native languages spoken in Scotland today, the other two being English and Scottish Gaelic.
Scots is the collective name for Scottish dialects known also as Doric, Lallans and Scotch or by more local names such as Buchan, Dundonian, Glesca or Shetland.
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.
