Not "idiomatic Scots" whatever that means but Scots, a language of its own.

@scotsexile1 No. MacDiarmid drew from modern and historical words/phrases from all over Scotland to create a kind of idiomatic polyglot. Therefore "idiomatic Scots" describes it rather well, it's not really a "language of its own" at all.
