		Scots became considered to have a substratal relationship to English as opposed to an adstratal relationship.
		However, most younger Scots today see a Scottish accent, that is, Scottish English, as a sufficient marker of their Scottishness and are generally not interested in retaining bilingualism in a language they consider old-fashioned, parochial, or simply uncool.
		Ulster Scots, spoken by the descendants of Scottish settlers as well as those of Irish descent in Northern Ireland and County Donegal in the Irish Republic, and sometimes described by the neologism "Ullans", a conflation of "Ulster" and "Lallans".

		Scots has virtually none of the resources that are now channeled in the direction of Gaelic.
		There is no radio or TV broadcasting in Scots, it is, generally speaking, not taught in school, and it is not at all used as an educational medium.
		But Scots, the language with many speakers and low status, enjoys nowhere near the public support and awareness that is afforded Gaelic, which has far fewer speakers but at the same time carries far greater symbolic weight.

	Traditional Scottish Gaelic singing
		Some Gaelic singers treat puirt reels as the singing equivalent of playing the fiddle at top speed and sing at a speed which would be hopeless to dance to.
		Sure there is classical Gaelic singing and the "oran mórs" which are musically and lyrically more challenging but try to be true to the song and the tradition not a classical singer unconnected with Gaelic.
		The two main courses on Scots Gaelic song I know of are the week long course given at Sabhal Mor Ostaig and the long weekend course at "Feis Rois Inbhich" (the Adult Feis Ross).

		A translation was not made until this late date partly to avoid controversy with the (Presbyterian) Church of Scotland, and partly because it was wrongly believed that the already-existing Irish Gaelic BCP would be acceptable (Scots and Irish Gaelic are similar, but certainly not identical).
		The exceptions, which have been made with the Bishops' approval, mainly consist (1) in the omission of the Acts of Uniformity, and the consequent re-numbering of the Table of Contents; (2) in the adoption of the Table of lessons and Order for reading Holy Scripture of 1871, according to Canon xxxv.
