Well, as both a prolific reader, and writer, and one-time editor, I find Pour1Malts stuff, at times, almost unreadable (Sorry Pour1Malt, and I hope you don't take it too personally). People in Scotland may speak like that, but they are educated in Standard English, the same as "rap artists" (oxymoron) are educated in Standard English, but choose to speak in the patois of the ghetto.
While it may seem "quaint" to write in accent, it really does little to convey the message.
