I don't like the Glasgow accent much either.

Good job she's from Irvine then.

Is that different? 

Aye, one's Irvine and the other is Glasgow.

Accents from around there all sound the same.

Bet she still gives it bythaway, pure dead brilliant and defin-nettly.

They don't sound the same. I've lived in Glasgow and North Ayrshire (you haven't) and the accents are different.

Only because you’re from there I guess, to someone from up my way it all sounds the same, I could distinguish between a brocher and someone from Peterhead by the language they use and the subtle differences in accent but they’d both sound the same to you.

Shut up.

Huge differences between accents in Ayrshire IMO.

A Cumnock accent is far different from someone from Stewarton for example.

The Easties all sound the same though, and I say that as someone who now resides in the East.  I do agree that Fifers, much like Africans, tend to look the same.

I'd say there is a very big difference between Edinburgh, Dundee and Aberdeen accents but quite similar if you have a neutral east coast accent. I was born in Dundee, grew up and went to school in Fife but have stayed in Dundee overall the most but I would say I have a soft accent, some would say sexy but I don't sound either Dundonian or Fife.

Very true, MOA, and I do notice it now that I live here.

Was just trying to create an opening for my comment about Africans tbh.

During my turbulent 6 months in Dundee, I noticed a huge difference in the accent.  You get towns who have their own words too I notice, Blairgowrie say Ged and Perth say Doss but with a different meaning from the one used by Begbie in Trainspotting!

The Dundonian accent sticks out when you hear it on the TV. I mind Kyle from the view had subtitles when he was interviewed on MTV 😀
