My accent pings about Scotland sometimes depending on what I'm saying and who I'm speaking to (and in what capacity, I.E professional or personal). My wife tells me I sound like a "Glasgow uni type" because I have the audacity to not speak like a weegie scumbag. I sound a bit north eastern when talking to my dad (my wife subconsciously adopts a sort of old fashioned 1950s Dumbarton accent when speaking to her mum), I sound generic neutral West Coast well spoken Scottish mostly life and particularly when speaking to clients, because despite being born impoverished in Clydebank, my mum believed in standards. I sound a bit more stereotypically "weegie" when with mates or in a pub etc. None of which is conscious, it just comes out. Having lived in Clydebank, Dumbarton, Tain, Milngavie, Bonhill and Jamestown, I have a pretty good knack for picking out the minor differences in accents in otherwise close towns. For example, I can generally tell which side of the county line someone is from in Clydebank, the Glasgow side or the West Dunbartonshire side; Alexandria or Dumbarton etc. Accents in areas definitely change with time. My gran lived in Clydebank for 97 years and didn't sound weegie, she had a traditional Clydebank manner of speaking, though the town nowadays sounds far more glaswegian as the city absorbs it over decades. Likewise younger folks from Dumbarton don't sound too dissimilar to weegie nowadays, but older Dumbarton people have an old Scots, farmery twang. North Eastern accent variations amuse me. My sister moved to Tain aged 16 and was full on "rabber bampers!" within months. The Grampian accents are almost certainly the worst on the ears, or at least in competition with parts of Edinburgh and Fife.
