    it was pathetically generic and had no resemblance to any regional Scottish accent I've ever heard...typical drama school this is what 'they' sound like training. Its similar to someone doing the Queen and saying that's an 'English accent' they all sound like that :D

    I'm a Scot, might have been a generic "Weegie" accent, but lets face it the majority of Scots are "Weegie's". Rab C would have been proud.:D

    We'll, I'm a Scot and I really don't care about the authenticity of her accent, I thought it was hilarious.

    I have surpassed Rab and Mary's milestone having been happily married 27 years this year, in true Rab & Mary tradition my wife has stated that only one of them was happy. To which I replied, "at least that is one more than I thought". :D

    Bull! I am Scottish, and have a lot of family who live on the west coast who sound like that. Glasgow, Ayr, Kirkcubright to name a few off the top of my head. Her accent was fabulous!

    Well said Lolla. I thought of Ayrshire as well. I live west coast but further north, the accent here is very similar.

    Unfortunately those who live in the less densely populated areas of Scotland think they represent the majority. Who actually live in the West of the Central belt.

    Claire is an excellent actress, and as she's shown tonight, very diverse. She was utterly fabulous as ruthless bitch Kim Tate in Emmerdale - I'll always remember that character, the best in the history of soap tbh.
