I'm Canadian and of mixed heritage and TRUST ME the Scottish accent is damned hard! I wouldn't even attempt to try it but I do like listening to it. It almost sounds as if you are singing scales because the accent goes up and down and back down then up again.

This is amazing. She's making distinctions in the Scottish accents that I've never actively noticed before (aside from the obvious ones) but as soon as she switches I immediately here the voices of folks I know from that region and hear those local shifts. So cool!

I grew up in the Highlands of Scotland on the East Coast and gradually worked my way further south as the years passed and I found that tuning into the different dialects was a steep learning curve even for a native Scot. This lady is so talented and spot on!

Carol is genius, I loved hearing her switch from one accent to the next. Beautiful!

This is freaking INCREDIBLE!

I've always though about how accents seem to change due to temperature. especially how it seems much more common for accents in colder regions to close vowels more just generally keep the lips closer together.

Wow! Love hearing all the accents. And it's awesome that she can do them all so well, you can actually hear the difference!

I'm from Brazil and I love Scotland since I was a kid. I've been practicing the Scottish accent for 3 years. I must admit it's not easy to learn, but I like it anyway.

This is the most interesting and impressive Outlander video I've seen yet!

Very fascinating! I wouldn't have thought there'd be that many different accents.

simply amazing, used to study in Scotland for four years now hearing this make me wanna visit again....miss it

This is just interesting to learn and the execution is just extraordinary. Wow ❤️

If you want to hear a wider range of Scottish accents you should watch this video : kzread.info/dash/bejne/inWAwZlvktG2gM4.html The only accents that this video misses out are those from Orkney and from Shetland.

Fascinating. Thanks for sharing this information with us.

What an absolutely fantastic find, I keep coming up with random things to search for to expand my awareness of the world around me. I wanted to know what different Scottish accents sounded like, in particular posh Scottish accents. This video, in 2 minutes, contains everything I wanted to know and more!

I love the Hebrides and Highland accent. It just sounds right.

This was beautiful. Quite enjoyable and informational to watch

I love this video :) I always refer to it each time I meet someone new from Scotland, and then I try make an educated guess as to which city they're from.

I really enjoyed this video. I worked as a linguist in then West Germany back in the late 70s. I as enlisted in the U.S. Air Force and stationed there. Worked with many enlisted members from the U.K. Used to list to BFBS radio a lot. The number of regional accents in the U.K. was mind-boggling and oh-so entertaining. I love the study of language and linguistics. Thanks again for this great video!

In love with Scotland and the Scots. Greetings from Spain.

Absolutely loved it! Gosh I miss Scotland so bad!!

We were on holiday in Scotland from our home in Canada last summer. We took a double-decker bus tour of Glasgow and I could not understand a word the tour guide said! It is a braw city, though, I must admit.

It’s fascinating how sometimes while watching the show you don’t really notice the different accents as a non-native English speaker. But while watching this video and listening to her explain the differences, I can recall almost all the characters’ accents 😅

Great video. I like most Scottish accents, but the ones from the highlands and Hebrides are my favorites by a long shot.

Had the pleasure to meet this lovely lady, she is great

Fascinating! We are very excited about April 4th! :)

This is absolutely fascinating! I'd love to go to Scotland and experience this first-hand (would probably get my American accent made fun of in the process though... Lol). My grandmother is from Glasgow and she sounds just like that (albeit a bit water-down after so many years in the States, but still clearly Scottish).

One of the great things about being a foreigner is that you can choose which english accent you want to go with. I always had a thing for Scotland, and although I was taught British in school I taught myself Scottish. I love it so. I've learned to switch between the two as well, very handy haha!

She seems so pleasant, I just think this is 2 minutes of great pub chat or dinner party chat. As someone from Scottish she is absolutely spot on with the accents and hearing her describing them is very interesting.

I could listen to her all day!

Blimey! every accent sounds fantastic....

Pure deid quality, great tour of Scottish accents

She's great at explaining this! I have this song on ITunes called The Baron o'Leys, that I couldn't understand at first even though it's in English, because of the dialect. Little pieces of it come to me every time I hear it.

I agree, this is brilliant! It's fascinating to hear her accents rroll up and down, would love to meet her 👍👌👌

She has a cameo in Dragonfly in Amber. As soon as I heard her voice I remembered this video!

I love this so much!!

From listening to this video I gathered that Sean Connery is from Edinburgh. Looked it up because I never knew and he is. I can't wait to be able to actually watch this show. We don't have cable so I haven't been able to watch but clips from here. Enjoying the book though.

I'm Swedish but Scotland and Ireland seems so lovely. Currently learning a bit of scottish gaelic.

i could listen to her glasgow & highlander accents all day

i smiled throughout the entire video. i loooove the accents

😂😂 she so good. She's got my accent fae Dundee to a tea.

I'm Brazilian. I've lived in England for a couple of years. Love the british accent but nothing compares to the scottish accent. I just love it. It sounds raw and guttural, and to my ears more like singing. Everytime I think about Scotland It reminds me of a Band called marillion and a song called Bitter Suite: A spider wanders aimlessly within the warmth of a shadow Not the regal creature of border caves But the poor, misguided, directionless familiar Of some obscure Scottish poet The mist crawls from the canal Like some primordial phantom of romance To curl, under a cascade of neon pollen While I sit tied to the phone like an expectant father Your carnation will rot in a vase. A train sleeps in a siding The driver guzzles another can of lager To wash away the memories of a Friday night down at the club She was a wallflower at sixteen She'll be a wallflower at thirty four Her mother called her beautiful Her daddy said, "A whore". The sky was Bible black in Lyon When I met the Magdalene She was paralyzed in a streetlight She refused to give her name And a…

I really agree with her assessment of the Scottish accents that bless the country. I'm from Aberdeen - and we do have quite a tight voice. It's not harsh or elongated like Glaswegians and it's not soft and inviting like Invernesians. Aberdeen and Dundee have the most sort of aggressive accents. When I say aggressive I really mean that the accents aren't harsh they are just spoken with a lot of... contempt. We're not very welcoming and our voices often reflect that.

Love so much these accents! *-*

It's the same here and I'm actually from Scotland! I live on the North East coast (15-20 minutes from the Dundee mentioned in the video - but we don't say eh ate a peh like she says, that's just dumb) and I generally have your typical 'red litchie' accent, but my dad's from Glasgow and with him all of my aunts/uncles/cousins on his side (plus two of my brothers and two of my sisters) so even I catch myself speaking in a different accent depending on who I'm with.

So true. Very well explained and very well done. Nothing wrong with the Inverness twang either :)

Gotta say, Duncan Lacroix is spot on. I was shocked when I heard him wae an english accent.

Ahhhh I really like the Scottish Accent. It sounds so beautiful and all of the words just roll off people's tongues!! Thats why I am hoping to go to school in Glasgow allll the way from California!! (Obviously I have many more reasons than that, but the accent would be something very lovely to hear everyday ^_^)

Just here, trying to make it to March and get through this drought.

I love her! She’s so lovely.

Oh hell there's even more accents than that! Fife is slightly different to Dundonian or Edinburgh, and she forgot to mention the Border accent which is so unique. Dumfries and Galloway differs as well. Then you've got all the posher people who live in Morningside and Kelvinside who have created there own style too. Then you've got all the land owners who are as Scottish as Morris dancing. Sorry know it's because they spent there entire childhoods in English boarding schools having the Scottish whipped out of them. I know I have been.

I love Scotland and all her accents! Love and respect from Iran.

I was watching The Story of English on PBS (sort of like a US version of the BBC if the right refused to fund it properly) with some friends (for context, I live in North Idaho, which is just below Canada and the farthest east you can get and still be in the west coast time zone. We have more in common with Seattle and Montana than Boise, Idaho's capital. I think of southern Idaho as Northern Utah. Lots a' Mormons). They had a Scotsman in a London regiment. He was talking in his home town accent and was clear as a bell and was easy on the ears, but he was subtitled. He apologized for his natural accent and went into his guttural regimental London accent. He sounded like Winston Churchill clearing his throat and was almost unintelligible, but the damned subtitles were gone. Guess that's what happens when ya have a show outa Boston, the BBC and them.

Very interesting...

Brillliant. Her Highland accent is what I expect of a Highland accent - although Dundee born and bred, I was brought up by my Highlander gran and that's the way she spoke - and I never ever heard her say "ken" - ever. In fact, if I said it, I'd get an awful telling off. It makes me wonder why it's used so much in Outlander

She’s amazing.

The last referendum was actually pretty widely covered in Finnish media and I personally was hoping that you'd gain the independence...I was kind of sad after the result was announced. I sympathize Scotland and Scottish people because your history has many similarities with our's. For example, Finland was similarly under the rule of Sweden and Finnish people were suppressed by "noble" Swedes. We were just stupid peasants to them. We also had our own peasant uprising (that ended badly for us) in 1596 against Swedish nobility kind of like in Scotland there was the Jacobite uprising. For these reasons I feel like Finland and Scotland are brother nations in a way.
