have some scottish poetry by robert burns
WEE, sleekit, cowerin', timorous beastie,
O, what a panic's in thy breastie!
Thou needna start awa sae hasty,
Wi' bickering brattle!
I wad be laith to rin an' chase thee,
Wi' murdering pattle!
I'm truly sorry man's dominion
Has broken nature's social union,
An' justifies that ill opinion
Which makes thee startle
At me, thy poor earth-born companion,
An' fellow-mortal!
I doubtna, whyles, but thou may thieve;
What then? poor beastie, thou maun live!
A daimen-icker in a thrave
'S a sma' request;
I'll get a blessin' wi' the lave,
And never miss 't!
Thy wee bit housie, too, in ruin!
Its silly wa's the win's are strewin'!
An' naething now to big a new ane
O' foggage green!
An' bleak December's winds ensuin',
Baith snell and keen!
Thou saw the fields laid bare an' waste,
An' weary winter comin' fast,
An' cozie here, beneath the blast,
Thou thought to dwell,
Till, crash! the cruel coulter past
Out through thy cell.
That wee bit heap o' leaves an' stibble
Has cost thee mony a weary nibble!
Now thou's turned out, for a' thy trouble,
But house or hald,
To thole the winter's sleety dribble,
An' cranreuch cauld!
But, Mousie, thou art no thy lane,
In proving foresight may be vain:
The best-laid schemes o' mice an' men
Gang aft a-gley,
An' lea'e us naught but grief and pain,
For promised joy.
Still thou art blest, compared wi' me!
The present only toucheth thee:
But, och! I backward cast me e'e
On prospects drear;
An' forward, though I canna see,
I guess an' fear.

Here are some audio clips, if you want to listen.
(The last one isn't a Scottish accent, it's Scots, which some people consider different enough to be a separate language from English. You decide for yourself)

Just listen to a few actors. Ewan MacGregor, Sean Connery are the only two I can think of right now (brain fart, sorry). Just rent the movie Trainspotting...

Looks like none of the answers given were by a "scot" then, as they were in very poor taste.

Put on The Simpsons - listen carefully to Willy the school janitor - he's got a great one.

it is very difficult to understand, it is supposed to be English but I can hardly hear the words at all, sometimes to me it just a funny noise they make, like when you cough or sneeze
