As indicated in ISO 639 standard[1], the English name for the Gaelic of Scotland is "Scottish Gaelic" and not "Scots Gaelic". Although it is used, Scots Gaelic is the wrong term and what's more, is confusing. The Wikipedia article on Scottish Gaelic [2] agrees with this. It does not need discussion: it has already been discussed by the International Organisation for Standardisation. Please just use the ISO standard.
