PS Erse - my encyclopaedic dictionary says " Erse - 1 Gaelic esp. Scottish Gaelic . 2 of or pertaining to the Celts in the Highlands of Scotland, of their language - Scottish var. of Irish

Pocket Oxford Dictionary gives " Erse - Irish Gaelic or Scottish Gaelic - early Scottish form of Irish"

I know nothing more than what the good old OED tells me. As the Scots came from Ireland isn't it reasonable to expect them to speak the same language with increasing evolutionary divergence?
