I guess a number of answers to your question have been offered, but here's 
another one. Wir Ain Leid has little pages for each of the dialects of 
Scots, and one of them is about the way Scots is spoken in the 
Gaidhealtachd, by Gaels. Here's the link:

Thanks, Isaac.

Let me just add that _Wir Ain Leid_ ("Our Own Language") is the work of none 
other than our own long-time member Andy Eagle.  And what terrific resources 
this and related presentations are!

Regards,
Reinhard/Ron
