scots

A Scots person is someone from Scotland, like a resident or native. You can use this term to refer to someone's background and cultural identity.

The word "Scots" has several uses depending on context. If you're talking about people who come from Scotland, it's commonly used as an adjective to describe their nationality or heritage, similar to how we might say "American" to mean a person from the United States. For example: "She was a Scots artist known for her vibrant paintings." In this case, the word is an adjective to describe someone's origin.

However, when you're talking about language, "Scots" can also refer specifically to the Lowland or Highland dialects spoken in Scotland, often referred to as "Scottish Gaelic" or "Lowland Scots". It's a bit confusing because sometimes "Scots" is used interchangeably with "English", but technically they are distinct languages.

In general though, people from Scotland are proud of their heritage and culture, which is richly influenced by history, music, poetry, and natural landscapes.
