To be fair, that number is self-reported and combines "speak, read, write or understand Scots".
I'm not Scottish myself, but even I could claim to somewhat understand Scots. I wouldn't say so on a census, but I'm sure there are plenty that would. Especially when there's some national pride at stake.
