    Default Scottish accent

    Just watched old Top Gear's episode in Finnish TV. They had Amy Macdonald (singer and song writer) as a visitor. Does she speak normal Scottish dialect/accent (= does average Scottish speaks like her?) She sounds both great & funny .

    I found a same interview via Youtube.

    She's polished it but I love those accents on women, same with Northern English accents they're just melodic in a raw way and lovely.

    West coast Scottish accent, which is a fair chunk of Scotland. She is Glaswegian.

    Yes, she just sounds like a Glaswegian, although I think she is trying to speak a bit slower in that interview so people can understand her better.

    I can understand most of what they're saying... although a few parts are unclear... you just have to listen carefully.

    Those who want to live, let them fight, and those who do not want to fight in this world of eternal struggle do not deserve to live.

    Even if this were hard--that is how it is ! Assuredly, however, by far the harder fate is that which strikes the man who thinks he can overcome Nature, but in the last analysis only mocks her. Distress, misfortune, and diseases are her answer.
