> Scots is an English dialect, descended from Northumbrian English.

Not being familiar with that term I looked it up [0] and was surprised by how familiar much of the vocabulary sounds to me, and i'm from south west England... I recognize a number of these words from my childhood (although not so much these days), and many others feel more like an natural accent transformation of a standard english word (although I suppose that might not be the etymology). Admittedly a good chunk of them are completely alien to "standard english" and whether you recognize them or not is more to do with exposure.

I don't recognise most of them, just a few. Banter is now heard in the south. My mum says mollycoddle (perhaps it's widely known like banter?) Interestingly, when I lived in Suffolk in the early 2000s people said chud for chewing gum. I found that one funny and thought it was just some slang the kids made up.

deeks - "look" as in "Gie’s a deeks / Gimme a look" caught my eye.

In East London my parents' generation sometimes said "gissa dekko" aka "give us a dekko" aka "give us a look" - but the dekko there came from Hindi, "dekho" (देखो) meaning a casual look or a look-see.

When my elderly neighbor came down from Quebec as a young factory worker, her roommate asked her "Wudjagunnadoodamarra?", and it took quite a while to get her to say "What are you going to do tomorrow?" We got "shell out" from belts of wampum, and woodchuck from Algonquin indian 'wuchak'.
