scots

The Anglo-Saxon language of Scotland. Native to the Lothians and Borders ( and historically all of Northumbria in England ) it spread over centuries and displaced Gaelic - the native Scottish language - from most of the Lowlands. Most famous examples of the language are probably found in the poetry of Robert Burns. There has been much debate, which is ongoing, over whether or not Lowland Scots is a language in its own right or a dialect of English.

Scots, wha hae wi' Wallace bled, Scots, wham Bruce has aften led, Welcome to your gory bed Or to victorie!
