    Uncle Argyll should have a good Scottish accent as he was played by Brian Cox, a good Scottish actor.

    As far as accents go, I think Alec Guinness as Maj. Jock Sinclair did a wonderful job in Tunes of Glory. The worst accent, though it was not Scottish, well perhaps it was, would be Sean Connery in the Hunt for Red October.

    If memory serves Sean Connery was the captain of a Russian submarine and wasn't trying to be Scottish. Not a great Russian accent perhaps but he is Scots.

    That was exactly my point, I did have on the post the worst Russian accent I've ever heard but decided to take it off.

    Percy Herbert as Regimental Sergeant Major Riddick in Tunes of Glory. A superb west highland accent!
