Serious question, does Scotland have a different language and also English or is a variation of English ?

Yes to both.

Did you listen to my links I sent you above? There are at least three and even the Scots don't understand them.

As Pat10 has already pointed out, there is a Gaelic Scottish language, but it's rarely spoken now.

ColinB · **Posted:** Fri Feb 24, 2012 9:34 am

Hey - They're getting reports of Javi's visit to Scotland 'over there' but not here !

What gives ?

Which therefore means it's another language. Keep up Pat.

Keep up Pat.

The key query at the heart of this discussion is: What is that strange language we hear people talking in Scotland ?

My answer is correct: It's actually a mangled form of English !

You"ve never been along the west coast/Scottish ilands/or my part of the world Colin? ... Gaelic is very much alive and is learned in Schools.

Total rubbish that it"s dying a death!.
