| I am looking for a website where I can find some recordings with prevailing scottish accent. Is there any diffrence between Scottish and Wales accents? P.s I am not sure that word 'prevailing' is suitable here. Generally it's very tricky word for me. If it won't be a problem I'll ask the question on this word at the 'Ask the Teacher' section. Best wishes cz. |

| Scots Language Centre - Scots Corpus web site goes live There are a number of different "accents", depending on where in Scotland you live. That in the Islands, and the north and northwest are affected by the sound of spoken Gaelic [or in the case of Shetland, by Norwegian]; that of the east and south are affected by close connection with English. Glasgow is much affected by the northern Irish accent. |

| Check out the Rab C Nesbitt videos on Youtube. ie YouTube - Rab C Nesbitt: "Work" - Series 1 Episode 1 (Part 3/3) If you can understand these guys you will understand any of the Scottish accents. Its tough even for native speakers. |

| If you don't mind R-ratings, here are a couple of movies: - Carla's Song - Trainspotting And there must be several movie versions of Macbeth. |

I've heard that accent in 'Rab C Nesbit' is not a typical Scottish. It's more like Scottish of non-educated people? Rab Is really OK. Excellant movie. |

| "Taggart" on DVD will give you a more generally standard Scottish accent range. Usually Macbeth is not played with accents, but with received English. |
