Scottish accent in movies or audiobooks
Hi everybody!
I just love to hear people talk with a Scottish accent and that's why I'm looking for movies and audiobooks in which this accent is prominent.
I very much enjoyed the accent of the main character in "Trainspotting" and I think Steven Macintosh did a brilliant job in using all sorts of accents for the audiobook of "The Beach". Among them was the Scottish accent of Mr Duck.
What other movies or audibooks are suitable to hear a Scootish accent rrrollin'?
Thanks in advance!
Pete

Hunt up Simpsons episodes featuring Groundskeepre Willie, he made the famous "cheese eating surrender monkey" quote.

Although he's not actually played by a Scottish actor.
Of the top of my head, try the TV series Hamish Macbeth and the movies Gregory's Girl and Whisky Galore.

"Gosford Park" is a good movie for this, as one may hear an authentic Scottish accent (rolling softly, if at all, in this variety) from a real maid alongside a phony Scottish accent from a Hollywood actor merely pretending to be a valet, och aye! They are as distinct as a convent girl's modesty and a Pr

'Local Hero' for that soft west-coast sound (although the village where it was filmed is in Fife, on the East Coast), plus you get Burt Lancaster thrown in.

For one like that I'd suggest Shrek and Star Trek. (However, UK readers may note that Shrek seems to have developed a Dutch accent since he became manager of Tottenham Hotspur.)

And doesn't actually sound Scottish. But otherwise he's perfect.
