Highland English is the variety of Scottish English spoken by many in the Scottish Highlands, more heavily influenced by Gaelic than most other Scottish English dialects.
Island English is the variety spoken as a second language by native Gaelic speakers in the Outer Hebrides.
Speakers of Highland English, particularly those from areas which remain strongly Gaelic or have a more recent Gaelic speaking history, are often mistaken as being Irish by non-Highland Britons ; presumably as a result of the shared Gaelic influence upon the English of both areas.

 English language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
English is an Anglo-Frisian language brought to southeastern Great Britain in the 5th century AD and earlier by Germanic settlers and Germanic auxiliary troops from various parts of northwest Germany (Saxons, Angles) as well as Denmark (Jutes).
English is the most widely learned and used foreign language, and as such, some linguists believe that it is no longer the exclusive cultural sign of 'native English speakers', but is rather a language that is absorbing aspects of cultures worldwide as it continues to grow.

Jamaican English or Jamaican Standard English is a dialect of English encompassing in a unique way, parts and mergers of both American English and British English dialects.
Although the distinction between the two is best described as a continuum rather than a solid line, it is not to be confused with what linguists call Jamaican Creole, nor with the vocabulary and language approach of the Rastafarian movement.
The most noticeable aspect of Jamaican English for speakers of other varieties of English is the pronunciation or "accent".

 Highland Clearances - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Highland Clearances (Scottish Gaelic: Fuadaich nan Gàidheal) is a name given to the forced displacement of the population of the Scottish Highlands from their ancient ways of warrior clan subsistence farming, leading to mass emigration.
As in Ireland, the potato crop failed in the mid 19th century, and a widespread outbreak of cholera further weakened the Highland population.
To this day, the population in the Scottish Highlands is sparse and the culture is diluted, and there are many more sheep than people.
