Yes but in a bit of an odd way as I ubderstand it, not quite a cousin of English not quite a dialect but its given the classification of an independent language since most folks cant understand it fully. Frankly if Scots is its own language then about a dozen other dialects and accents need to be reclassified as well starting with West Country.
Scots is also classed as its own separate language, isn’t it?
