Is this closer to how Old English was or is this even farther removed from Old English than Modern English is?

It's a bit like Middle English (what Shakespeare wrote in), Old English (What Beowulf was wrote in) is very different. Also worth remembering that this is Scots, which is very close to English and I think largely unrelated to Scottish Gaelic.
