Do you speak Scottish?

I was sitting in my British class one day and eavesdropping like I mostly always do. This one girl across the room was saying that she had Scottish ancestry to this one boy that I cannot tell if she is flirting with. Well he asks this, "Can you speak Scottish?" She covered it by saying "Do you mean Scottish Gaelic? No, I don't know a word." I could only smile behind my hand for this is not the first time I've heard this assumption of people that Scottish is another language.

Another moment (and this one actually happened to me) was when it was suggested we search for "I love you" in different languages for a fun 'international' activity. Someone suggested I can say what it is in Scotland. Um it's "I love you".? Guess I can find what it is in Gaelic but that is not the point since that was not what they meant.
