Gaelic Scots would be a descendant offshoot from pre-Northern Ireland. Scots would be Border Scots mixture with northern England in the south from the Longshanks era and most likely Pictish and Viking admixture in the north. This would be my guess.

I had the same question.

“Scots is a dialect of English spoken by the lowland people of Scotland.”
