Both Ullans and Lallans have official status in Northern Ireland and
Scotland respectively, but I have seen no indication that they are
interchangeable.

In fact Ulster Scots (Ullans) has more official status, I believe,
following the Northern Ireland Agreement.

The code "sco" has always been interpreted just to mean Scots in Scotland.

Ukster Scots has definitely not been included in that.

Try googling, also the ULLANS-L list archives, and I assume there is
probably an equivalent list or lists for Lallans.

There are certainly numerous sites for each.
