Worst Scottish Accent on Screen

 

Looking through our stock of costumes, we discovered quite a few costumes designed for distinctly Scottish characters, all played by non Scots.  Reminiscing about their attemps at a Scots accent, we think that some might have been miscast.... 

 

We want Scots to vote to identify the worst Scots accent ever used on screen by an actor.

 

Below, are some of the biggest and most successful films that featured a prominent non-Scots actor playing a Scot.  Vote for the one that you think most failed to roll their Rs, and proved more MacGyver than Macbeth.  Email us your choice for worst accent to vote@aswornin.com

 

We will release the results at the end of February.

 

Alec Guiness in Tunes of Glory	Christopher Lambert in Highlander
Mel Gibson in Braveheart	Eric Stoltz in Rob Roy
Jessica Lange in Rob Roy	Mike Myers in Shrek
Michael Caine in Kidnapped	Richard Attenborough in Jurassic Park
