    there are different accents in england depending on the area,

    same in scotland different scottish accents in different areas,

    some difficult to understand even for an englishman, but stay among them for a while and your ears adjust

    When I sailed on a Standby Vessel out of Aberdeen I actually struggled to understand my crew, had no idea what some of the Scots were saying. Some of the accents are just incredible.

    ... some of the Scottish accents CAN be difficult to follow - even for a native Scot like me!

    And if a person is hard of hearing - AGAIN like myself - then, of course, it becomes so much worse.
