Does Scotland have its own language?

I dont think so. I think the just have an accent. They have three languages, Gaelic (cames from Old Irish) and Scots (from Middle English). Gaelic (Ga-lick) is the Celtic language of the Scottish Highlands but was once a majority language until the king who came from the lowlands who spoke Scots decided to make Scots the official language of government and society and branded Gaelic as "Erse", which is Scots for Irish to disconnect from any Scottishness and to made it out to be the language of barbarians. Nowadays it remain a spoken language with some recognition in Scotland. Scots is the Germanic language of the lowlands which the language of the lowlands but became a very important language in the 15th century, when it became the language of power and society, at this time it was called "Scottis" which was the original Scots word for Gaelic until it was branded "Erse", Scots was original called "Inglis" which became the word for the language spoken in England. Today Scots remains a spoken language with some recognition in Scotland. It has been labled "Slang" or "Bad English" due to an ignorant attitude promoted by teachers and schools during the 20th century when Scotland's education was handled by the UK Government in London before the Scottish parliament was restored in 1999, now it was been reintroduced into the Scottish education system by the current government of Scotland. The third language and current language of government is English (Scottish-English) which has influences from both Gaelic and Scots.
