Interestingly enough, some of the words in Scots that differ from standard English seem to be cognates of Danish words. Example:

 ken in Scots, kende in Danish quine in Scots,  kvinde in Danish
 bairn in Scots, barn in Danish

Are these words some leftover from the days of the Danish rule over part of Britain?
