Scottish Accent

We were asking our Train Manager questions about the trip just to hear his cool thick Scottish Accent. I think he figured out what we were doing when he started to talk about flying Haggis and Hairy "coo's".

That is not a thick scottish accent, believe me :)

@emma41093... Lol. At the time I could honestly only make out about 50% of what he was saying... After spending a week or so in the Edinburgh area I really started understanding the accent in general. I hear that the Glasgow accent is really thick though.

@madsen1971

Depends. I'm from Paisley, Glasgow and I don't have a thick accent. In fact I know a lot of people who do not. People from the same area as I.

Depends on the area you're from, education, background in general.

I'm born and bred in glasgow and just outside it,  so i don't even think this is a strong accent at all, and for some reason parody's of scottish accents are harder to understand than the real thing,

Best line was at the end. After naming all these obvious signs of being in Scotland, he goes 'apart from that, you canny really tell'.

@madsen1971 Ha, well I live in North Berwick which is quite close to Edinburgh, but my mum is from Surrey and she, after living up here for over 30 years, still finds it difficult to understand some Scots (like at MacDonalds lol). Yes, Glasgow is bad but I think the worst is Aberdeen and Dundee because they still use a lot of Scots vocabulary.

Anyway, just imaging sitting a french exam when the narrative voice is a Glaswegian who is trying to speak french - stupid SQA!!! :D
