"Lowland Scots is indeed a different language, which evolved alongside English. I am not disputing this. However, we do not speak that anymore, as I have already stated."

It very much is spoken now. I must have imagined working class people in Fife using it, or farmers in Aberdeenshire speaking in it. It's still a living language, despite education's attempts to eradicate it. It hasn't quite gone the way of Cornish or Norn yet.
