I'm from the UK. Scots as plural is normal. This seems to be singular i.e. The Scottish mayor -> The Scots mayor.

  Isn't it singular in e.g. 'Scots law'?

    I believe it is still a plural use of Scots i.e. The law of the Scots. "Scots mayor" is in this case is not referring a mayor of Scotland but an individual who is Scottish and happens to be a major. Just seems off. But the writer is German so no worries.

      And I'm not trying to be a Scots Inquisition, just interested in language usage :-)

        Or a Scotch Inquisition - which is what happens to you if you put Coca Cola in a malt.
