Sounds right. I've been speaking English for 30 plus years and I don't understand the Scots. No one does.

Regional dialects are the hardest part of any language acquisition. You should try the American south or the New England states. I grew up speaking American English and there are some regions that I have problems understanding.

Most people speaking English all their life don't understand them either, so don't worry.

Don't worry about understanding the scots.
I am Italian and have a scottish friend who asks me to make his phone calls for him because no one understands him.
Basically it's their problem not yours.
