I find scottish dialect more attached towards swedish, norwegian and less towards english. Maybe it's me but some words are way to similar pronounciation but differently written.

“She’s turned the wains against us!” “Bairn” is a cognate of Norwegian “barn”, which also means “child”, and is ultimately related to Proto-Germanic ﹡barną, related to ﹡beraną, whence comes the English word “born”.

In my native tong Frisian bairn is used as well but it spells bern, it originates from old Norse en old Germanic, meaning the born one or born ones, dreech in Frisian means annoying, taking too long, boring. There are loads meer words that have cognates in Scottish English. Beter then
