Who Are The Scots?
A brief history of the origin of the Scots ethnic group and its changes over time.
Gaelic names are pronounced in OLD GAELIC. This is to show the clear link between the English version of names and their Old Gaelic origins. Modern Gaelic has changed in its pronunciation, modern Irish to an even greater degree.
Also note that there is no intent to promote a "pure" Scot, but to demonstrate the core origins and original language. Ethnicity is an evolving thing, as the video shows.

Political blooper: MP's Scottish accent baffles British parliamentarian
Members of the British parliament broke into laughter on October 18 when New-Zealand born Tory MP, Paul Beresford, visibly struggled to understand his Scottish colleague who was speaking with an accent.
Beresford initially apologized to Scottish National Party's (SNP) David Linden before asking him to repeat his question. But after a second attempt he sheepishly suggested Linden speak more slowly.
After two failed attempts in the miscommunication, Deputy Speaker, Lindsay Hoyle, suggested they resolve the matter by letter.

Scots / Lowland Scots (Braid) Scots, Lallans, Doric

Region: Scotland: Scottish Lowlands, Northern Isles, Caithness, Arran and Campbeltown/ Ulster (Ireland): Counties Down, Antrim, Londonderry, Donegal and Armagh
Ethnicity: Scots
Native speakers: 99,200 (2019) L2 speakers: 1,500,000
Language family: Indo-European (Germanic)
is a West Germanic language variety spoken in Scotland and parts of Ulster in Ireland (where the local dialect is known as Ulster Scots). It is sometimes called Lowland Scots to distinguish it from Scottish Gaelic, the Goidelic Celtic language that was historically restricted to most of the Highlands, the Hebrides and Galloway after the 16th century. Modern Scots is a sister language of Modern English; the two diverged in the Early Middle English period (1150–1300).
Scots is recognised as an indigenous language of Scotland, a regional or minority language of Europe, and as a vulnerable language by UNESCO. In the 2011 Scottish Census, over 1.5 million people in Scotland reported being able to speak Scots.
As there are no universally accepted criteria for distinguishing a language from a dialect, scholars and other interested parties often disagree about the linguistic, historical and social status of Scots, particularly its relationship to English. Although a number of paradigms for distinguishing between languages and dialects exist, they often render contradictory results. Broad Scots is at one end of a bipolar linguistic continuum, with Scottish Standard English at the other. Scots is often regarded as one of the ancient varieties of English, but it has its own distinct dialects. Alternatively, Scots is sometimes treated as a distinct Germanic language, in the way that Norwegian is closely linked to but distinct from Danish
