Svartalf has a spectacular aura about
I'll assume you mean Braid Scots, the language in which Robert Burns wrote.

It's definitely a dialect of English. Although it has drastically specific vocabulary, pronunciation and mannerisms, it's still English in origin and largely intercomprehensible with English, plus, its grammar is the same, except that it may be somewhat more archaic... Basically, Scots is less different from general English than Quebec French is from French French, and they still refuse to admit it has evolved into a separate language of its own.
