        yea and galician “looks like” a dialect of spanish, norwegian “looks like” a dialect of danish, and afrikaans “looks like” a dialect of dutch. hell, i can say english “looks like” a dialect of ulster scots. “dialect”/“accent” and “language” are meaningless words

        that being said the text in this post is scottish english, not scots

            Wikipedia does explain that Scots and English are sister languages, they both descend from Old English. Neither is a dialect.
