Hamish is correct about accents, most people think the "Scottish" accent is like broad Glasgow-wheras in fact theres tons of variants, places on the east coast -North Brewick, Dunbar, Eyemouth have the only a hint of an accent, we sometimes look on in bewilderment when TV programmes and films , supposedly set in the Highlands and the accents are all from Glasgow !!
it like watching an eposode of "Dallas" and JR and co all have Brooklyn accents. Recently 2 men In Scotland suffered a serious assault by local neds because they were wearing the Kilt! but thats an exception rather than the rule.
