It is correctly called Scots. Scots is as old as English. It is just as much its own root British language though often misconceived as a dialect of English. Scots has its own dialects like Dundonian Doric. The other Scottish tongue, the language of the Highlands and Islands, is Gaelic - a Celtic kin of Irish. Scots is Grammatically Distinct, e.g. the 2nd person plural: yous (the plural of you): as in 'yous are all dafties'. Some American derives from a Scots root rather than English, e.g. the poke of chips of Appalacia is Scots.
