No, the two languages have separate roots. Gaelic is often called Scots Gaelic to distinguish it from Irish, though.

Thanks for that. My family immigrated from Scotland a billion years ago or so, and we were always told they spoke mostly Gaelic. When I look at the language map they were from the Gaelic speaking islands that I now know are part of the Goidelic language family. Scots is in the south and part of the Brittonic language family. I can see more reading ahead.

Scots is Germanic. Brittonic is a subfamily of Celtic languages that includes Welsh and Cornish.
