  §1. “Scots” and “Ynglis”. IV. The Scottish Language. Vol. 2. The End of the Middle Ages. The ...
The name “Scots”; or “Scottish” has been applied to the language of the whole or part of the area of modern Scotland in such a variety of senses that some statement of the history of the term is a necessary preliminary to even the briefest outline.
For some time after this, even at the close of the fifteenth century, “Scots”; is the name for the Gaelic speech of the north and west.
Later, however, with the political and social advance of the kingdom and the development of a strong national sentiment during the quarrels with England, it came about, inevitably, that the term “Ynglis” no longer commended itself to northern partiotism.

 Talk:Scots language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia [Anonymoused]

In the 16th century, the Pope's decision meant that the same word now meant "belonging to Scotland" and thus explains why Scots began to be used to refer to Ynglis rather than to Erse.
No doubt if the Pictish language had not been eradicated by the combined efforts of the Scots, Norse and Anglian invaders, Pictish would today be known as Scots, however confusing and inappropriate that might be from a historical perspective.

What is now called Lowland Scotch is so nearly descended from the Old Northumbrian that the latter was invariably called "Ingliss" by the writers who employed it; and they reserved the name of "Scottish" to designate Gaelic or Erse, the tongue of the original "Scots," who gave their name to the country.
Barbour (_Bruce_, IV 253) calls his own language "Ynglis." Andro of Wyntown does the same, near the beginning of the Prologue to his _Cronykil_.
