      I had a boyfriend in England, he was Scottish (town southwest of Glasgow) but had lived in Canada, so the accent was muted. I am from Florida with parents from Louisiana so southern but not Southern l. I liked when he got drunk because he got more Scottish and he liked when I got drunk because I sounded Southern.

      There are multiple Scottish accents. You’d have to pick which one! Perhaps the most widely recognised would be Glaswegian.

      which one though? I can guarantee you’re not talking about Ayrshire (mine) or (most) Glaswegian. North & Islands are pretty good though.

          he’s from Glasgow, however almost all Scottish people, if they depend on depend speaking to make a living, change their accent a bit and we tend to speak more slowly. to me, he sounds quite mild and proper. still Scottish, i can tell he’s from Glasgow ish but his accent isn’t strong. also, he’s speaking slowly. Our accents vary a lot here. I grew up 35 miles from Glasgow but people there couldn’t understand me a lot of the time when I spoke.
