What is the difference between Scottish Gaelic and Scots language
The difference between Scottish Gaelic and Scots language is quite distinct. Scottish Gaelic is an ancient Celtic language that has been in use in Scotland since at least the 4th century AD, while Scots language is a dialect of English that was introduced to Scotland during the Middle Ages. The two languages have some similarities, such as similar vocabularies, pronunciations and syntax. However, they are quite distinct in their writing systems, grammar rules, and syntax.

How To Travel With Kids
It’s the summer, which for many people means travel. Air travel, car travel, boat travel. Travel with friends, travel with family, travel alone.
For many people — and I include myself in this — the experience of travel is one of the most significant changes post-children. Jesse and I traveled a lot on our own before kids. I’m not a very relaxed traveler (or person), but still, vacation pre-children usually manages to be somewhat chill and, more than that, somewhat flexible.
Traveling with kids is just different. It’s a trip, but often less of a vacation. It can be exhausting and occasionally nerve-racking. My brother just finished telling me a story about spilling their last bottle of formula all over the baby with five hours left in a flight. It’s true that, as an adult, you can sometimes run out of food on the plane. But… it’s not the same.
