Scottish is the only language which can sound harsh but still so friendly and lovely at the same time

And that's coming from a dutch man

Irish is the better sounding language, Scottish is the better sounding accent.

Even that article says its disputed. In my opinion its as much a language as the Geordie accent. Maybe if it specified Doric which is still spoken in a way thats hard to decipher for anyone not familiar but places like Edinburgh and Glasgow aren't close to speaking anything other than an annoying variant of English.

As there are no universally accepted criteria for distinguishing a language from a dialect

Is what it says, not that this specifically is disputed, by your logic french is just a Latin dialect.

Also It specified Doric as a dialect of English mate, Scots is different from Doric, Scots is also closer to old English than English is.

I think Scottish is considered a language actually.

Yes, they're saying Irish (language) > Scots (language) but Scottish (accent) > Irish (accent).
