		It seems to be Lowland Scots or Lallans, the dialect of English traditional for some centuries in much of Scotland.
		Lallans is also different enough from standard English that it could have been recognized as a separate language if the Scots had insisted on it, but they were no more resolute about that than they were about Gaelic.
		It's Lallans, but to be honest it sounds very much like a dialect spoken where I live in Ostrobotnia (the swedish speaking part of western Finland).

	What language do Scottish people speak? - The Official Scotland.com Community
		Scots from the Western Highlands and Islands speak Gaelic, Scots from the Central Belt generally speak Lallans and Scots from the North East normally speak Doric.
		Almost all Scots are bilingual and speak English as well as their native language, which is necessary to be understood in the wider world, not to mention the fact that it is rammed down our throats via the media, etc. on a daily basis.
		Not only is Doric less "modernised" than Lallans and therefore more in tune with Burns' 18th C. language, but the concerns of country folk today are often the same as those of Burns' day so Doric speakers are probably more empathetic to Burns than are the more urban Lallans speakers.

		Over the next decade, he and his circle of poets gathered words and expressions from various Scots dialects, creating what came to be known as Lallans (Lowlands) or Synthetic Scots.
		MacDiarmid and the new Lallans poets—William Soutar, Alexander Scott, Douglas Young, Sidney Goodsir Smith—turned to the glorious poets of the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries, the great Makars, for linguistic inspiration, resuscitating expressions and grammar that had fallen out of use centuries earlier.
		But there has also been criticism in Scotland that Lallans is not a natural language, that it is not spoken anywhere, and that it has alienated many Scots readers who find it difficult to understand the idiosyncratic vocabulary.

		But his most bravely brandished weapon is Lallans, a braw dialect of lowland Scots, little known today to Scots who are not classicists, or at least poets.
		Until recently, the Lallans dialect was used chiefly by Young and his co-secessionists for pastoral poetry, "flytin," i.e., jousting in libelous verse.
		Impenetrable at first, Lallans becomes readable after a little practice, and the reader stumbles through even such sheep-pasture poetry as: "Meantime the doitit gomerils sat,/ the hinnie-darlin mamma's pets/and gowpt like gowks." (Murray's equivalent verse: "Each sat at home, a simple, cool,/ Religious, unsuspecting fool/ And happy in his sheeplike way!")
