It's English, yes? A thing I've noticed about
Scotish language is that there is a very wide
range of possible useage from the very English to
the very Scots. English only speakers (i.e.
southrons) will have the most difficult time with
the high Scots; Scottish folks with some level of
familiarity with Scots will naturally have less
trouble.
