Hmm, I don't know that it's that clear-cut (other than the drink).
Derrick McClure is himself a Scot, and he posted this on Savoynet:

Note his use of "Scots" to mean the language. Derrick, I'm cc'ing you in
on this: have I been led astray here by misreading your post?

To be pedantic the language most Scots speak is English (or at least an
approximation there of)
You need to distinguish between "Scottish English" and "Scots", the
latter being related to English, but isn't English, much as Danish is
related to Swedish, but isn't Swedish.
