    I wasn’t disputing your wee history lesson. In modern parlance ‘Scots’ is often substituted for ‘Scottish’.

    Seeing as you’re not in agreement you’re either deafblind, not Scots or a clanker.

      I’ve been here since I was 9, so not technically Scottish, no. I get that Scots is an abbreviation of Scottish, but in this context it clearly refers to the language/culture of the same name. I assumed you were a Canadian or American, which is why I gave the history lesson.

        in this context

        In what context? You pulled me up for saying ‘Gaelic is a Scots language’ when calling it ‘Scots Gaelic’ is valid and distinguishes it from Irish.

        And FYI its as Canadian as it is Scots so leave them be.

        which is why I gave the history lesson

        Yeah well nobody likes a smart arse.
