		The Scots Pine (Pinus sylvestris; family Pinaceae) is a common tree ranging from Great Britain and Spain east to eastern Siberia and the Caucasus Mountains, and as far north as Lapland.
		Scots Pine is the National tree of Scotland, and it formed much of the Caledonian Forest which once covered much of the Scottish Highlands.
		Scots Pine has also been widely planted in New Zealand and much of the colder regions of North America; it is listed as an invasive species in some areas there, including Ontario and Wisconsin.

		Scots (or Lallans meaning lowlands) is a Germanic language used in lowland Scotland, and parts of Northern Ireland and border areas of the Republic of Ireland, where it is known as Ulster Scots or Ullans.
		On the whole, Scots descends from the Northumbrian form of Anglo-Saxon albeit with influence from Norse via the Vikings, Dutch and Low Saxon through trade with, and immigration from the low countries and Romance via ecclesiastical and legal Latin, Norman and later Parisian French due to the Auld Alliance.

		For example, IPA /aɪ/ (the vowel of "eye") and /aʊ/ (the vowel of "loud") become [əɪ] and [əʊ], respectively, the /a/ component of the diphthong going from a low vowel to schwa ([ə]).
		The Scots Vowel Length Rule lengthens a wide variety of vowel sounds in several environments, and shortens them in others; "long" environments include when the vowel precedes a number of voiced consonant sounds.
		Significantly, though, the Scots Vowel Length Rule applies only before voiced fricatives and /r/, whereas Canadian raising is not limited in this fashion; thus, it may represent a sort of merging of the Scots Vowel Length Rule with the general English rule lengthening vowels before voiced consonants of any sort.

		Scots has distinct general phonological and morphological features, common to many, but not necessarily all, of the dialects, and a syntax and vocabulary that differ significantly from English.
		Vowels are unrounded in words like () and () and are not diphthongised in and because Scots vowels took a different direction from the English ones during the Great Vowel Shift.
		The Scots of central Scotland is very different from that of either the north or the south: the language of the east displays characteristics absent from that of the west and vice versa.

	What is 'Shetlandic'
		As the structure of the syllable involves vowel as well as consonant phonology, this raises certain problems for analysing Scots vowel length purely in the terms generally used for Scots.
		It is certainly true that, from a practical point of view, the Scottish Vowel Length Rule cannot be relied upon to predict the long vowel sounds which occur in words like loumie, oil-slick; peig, a glimmer of light; and broel, to bellow; and this is an important consideration when it comes to questions of spelling.
		To characterise Shetlandic as a form of Scots is not to underestimate the profound influence of Norn upon its vocabulary in particular.

	Some Characteristics of the Shetlandic Vowel System
		It is possible that the length of the vowel in loumie as opposed to that in roomy could be explained in morphological terms.
		The length distinctions noted by Catford are easily explained in terms of distinctions in older Scots, and thus fall within the normal scope of Scots dialectology.
		It could be said that the phonetic realisations of affected vowels before certain consonants are not simply allophones of the phoneme which occur before specific consonants, but specific realisations in their turn of a general tendency for certain vowels to undergo a systemic shift before certain types of consonant.

		Essentially, what he pointed out is that perceived vowel height is related to vocal tract geometry, that the "back tube" can be lengthened either by raising the tongue or lowering the larynx, and that breathy vowels often also involve larynx lowering; hence they also seem to be a bit higher.
