"no worse than most kilted baladeers that perform, record and make videos, here in Auld Scotia"
Not saying it doesn't happen, but I can't recall actually hearing any laid-on-thick Scottish accents in Nova Scotia, and I've spent a fair bit of time there ...
On the other hand, most of the "Irish" pub bands put on accents, or they used to, anyway, not sure if that's done as much now ...
