Northumbrian Old English had been established Scotland as far north as the Firth of Forth by the end of the 600s, a good 13 centuries ago. Since then it spread to most of the central, eastern, and northern parts of the country including the northern isles such as Orkney by the 15th century.
While it has increasingly become influenced by more standard English dialects in the last few centuries, it was minimally impacted by Norman French, unlike more southerly dialects of English, thus it retains much of the character and vocabulary of the English as spoken before the Norman conquest in 1066.
Anyway, the English of southeast England is pretty much the least traditional dialect of English having been the most cosmopolitan, receptive to outside influence (primarily French), and most innovative in terms of both vocabulary and accent. In fact, many of the signature elements of the British accent such as non-Rhoticism and other elements of what are considered Received Pronunciation developed in southeast England within the last 100 -150 years and spread as an elite affectation by speakers of other dialects of English both in the British Isles, Australia, and even some eastern coastal U.S. areas.
No one was talking about the origin of the Scottish language.
Hmmm...Isn't that Hell of Beans located in Mexico?
I think that I was there, many years ago.
As to the second sentence, I do my best to stay healthy so that I can avoid being a patient.
However, if you spend a lot of time in that Hell of Beans, you will probably wind up as the patient of a Gastroenterologist.
