You've got a Scottish accent!

There's a big difference in the Shetland and Glaswegian accents you see, and even really small places will have their own unique twangs! Often a southern English "o" sound will turn into an "ae", like "Ah cannae dae that!". A very useful phrase if you're ever in Scotland! Not the accent you were after?
