Scots, like most English-speakers outside of England and Wales, are rhotic speakers; that is, they fully pronounce 'r' after vowels. So they would never say 'yer' meaning 'you' or 'ye'.

by that logic they would pronounce the R in the word yer. Though there isn't supposed to be an R there anyway. But if there was, they'd pronounce it fully. What a load of Rs.
