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.
No doubt as a courtesy to the hordes of American tourists who drop in uninvited every hundred years, the accommodating denizens of the village have taken time out from their hectic social schedule to abandon Gaelic and learn modern-day English -- but they have thoughtfully retained a slight Scottish burr and a few pungent Scotticisms to add just the right touch of ethnic flavor to their speech.

Reason: readability
I'm too tired to do the research, but I do believe that I heard that atleast one if not both of the actors in Boondock Saints are indeed Irish. I made the same comment that you did about their accents (Guinness induced comment), and a coworker jumped on me about one or both being Irish. Sean Connery as a Russian was just horrible!

Haha, they most definitely NOT Irish. I think they both have Irish ancestry (Sean Patrick Flanery does for sure). Just google it and you can get both of their bios.
Yeah, off topic.
But a sponsor!
The Economy Kilt in Scott Hunting (Brown) Modern tartan (the Tunes of Glory tartan) from Celtic Croft is good-looking and comfortable.
