Collins Gem - Scots dictionary

Scots Something or someone which is Scots comes from Scotland. In current Scots use, both Scots or Scottish are regarded as acceptable usage. Scots is the language spoken, in a variety of forms, by the majority of people who live in Scotland. It is descended from the Germanic dialect spoken by the Anglo-Saxon people who settled in Southeast Scotland in the 7th century. More information about the history and dialects of Scots can be found in the Introduction to this dictionary. See also Doric and Lallans.
