It was only in the later 15th century that Scots started to refer to the English speaking Scots, and Gaelic was labeled Erse. Before that, English speaking Scots were called, and called themselves, Inglis, while Gaels were called Scots.

It is true that every language in Scotland is an import, even the Celtic language, and the Bell Beakers language before it. Such is the case almost everywhere.

However, Gaelic has a far longer presence in Scotland than English, and it was the language of the people who founded the state, and the identity called Scots.

The English in the southeast of Scotland also extinguished the native Brythonic language there which preceded it. Migration from Northern England into Scottish burghs when the Gaels lost political power through comprador figures shifted the language far more than simply the influence from early English populations in the southeast.

The language shift from Gaelic to English was the result of a loss of political power and an elite that favoured English and facilitated English immigration.

@donamanv3 theres too much influence in the west for it too have not been a significant language, also the last native speaker in aberdeenshire only died in the 80s

recently I cant help but feel how much of a pointless gesture it has been for the government to plaster gaelic on every road sign & train station nationwide but make no real attempt to grow usage of the language in any meaningful sense

@donamanv3 there was almost certainly a point where gaelic was the dominant language of scotland which was concurrent with or even later than the advent of anglicisation in wales
