Pretty good, Sandy. I would add one thing to clear up the third sentence. The lowland Scots language derives from Saxons. The Highland Scots spoke the Gaedhlige language which derived from Ulster Irish. That language has now pretty well retreated to the outer islands, as I understand it. I would happily stand correction on this. The languages (Ulster Irish and Scots Gaelic) are still very similar in terms of pronounciation and usage but are very different in terms of spelling.

All the best,

Mick
