    I never had a broad accent but apparently it is still possible to tell I am Scottish.

    Funnily enough English people notice it - rather than Scots.

    I have an aunt who is like that - she has lived in London for 25 years, and everyone comments on how Scottish she sounds, but whenever she comes to visit us, we reckon she sounds as English as the Queen :rotfl: :rotfl:

    In my experience..... not only the accent is gorgeous but those WOW women.... woohoo.. I am glad to be male and hot blooded at that....
    Use your judgement, and above all, be honest with yourself. :)

    I used to go out with a gorgeous lass from Aberdeen who had the most amazing sexy Scottish accent. :D Funnily enough she thought my Irish accent was lovely even though I'm from N. Ireland :rotfl:
    It was like listening to the Colin and Edith show on Radio One :rotfl: :D

    I think everybody's accent is lovely who lives in Scotland. It would have to be the best accent in the world. :cool: Much nicer than the pommy accent.:D
    Don't worry about the world coming to an end today. It's already tomorrow in Australia. ;)

    A shetlander on MSE - I love SHetland - been there the last two years on holiday, did you get any Boots offers up there?

    We have had a decent time up here with the TD voucher - plenty of wipes in stock the last time I looked - no DR stuff here tho' (but filled my boots when I was in Aberdeen this weekend - and a big Hi to the woman I met there on Sunday at about 1.30pm with Shetland connections!)

    And Hi to F1F1 too - not seen you one here for a while!
  • I don't mind my accent at all. I'm from near Inverness.
    If I had known then what I know now . . .

    I think its just brilliant that no matter where you go in the world, the scots are always well received. The fact that the lads with their GORGEOUS irish accent love my scottish accent is a bonus! :T
  • I love the scottish accent, whichever part of Scotland it comes from, regardless of if I can understand what is being said or not.
