Regional accents are often preferred to 'queen's English' as advertisers believe they convey more personality and emotion - a quality essential for building and supporting brands.
According to what focus groups/ research you believe different accents convey different qualities.
Currently the populist view within marketing communities is that Scottish is seen by consumers as down to earth, honest and trustworthy.

The Scottish accent is my favourite too, but only when spoken by women. I don't know why but a soft, Scottish accent sounds so comforting and melodious.

Its because Scottish accent is a more 'serious' sounding accent, not very threatning, can quite easily be understood too.

'Northern' and scottish accents are deemed to be more friendly, probably because thier tone of voice is higher.

Evidently they earn less up north thus making the Scotts voice over a cheaper option.
