Scots

Surfing around I found a blog which has some contributions to Scots language. I'd be interested to hear your comments:

(you have to scroll down a bit to his post of July 31).

Is he correct with what he is saying about Burns?

He probably thinks it's true. But since he admits "my personal variation of Scots has been irreparably Anglicised" (to the extent that he pronounces niche as nitch) it doesn't give him much credibility.
