There  are plenty of "Oriental" people in Scotland so a Scottish
"accent" is quite  normal; the word "brogue" isn't often used though.
You knew she would have  an English accent - but she hasn't - Scottish
isn't  English!
 
Sandy:
Since I don't live in Scotland I would have no way of  knowing how many 
people of oriental descent live there, and I had no idea that  Katie was from 
Scotland so her Scottish accent surprised me. I stand corrected:  I knew she would 
have a "British" accent. I said English accent because I  thought she was from 
England. 
 
 
 
 

joxy:
Gambon was born in the Republic of Ireland which made him  Irish not
British, though he later received UK nationality.
Great  Britain is England Scotland and Wales. UK is Great Britain and
Northern  Ireland.
 
Sandy:
 
Thank you for the tutorial but I could care less what  comprises the UK or 
Great Britain. I will be more explicit. Gambon does not  sound Irish, Scottish 
or English to me. If I did not know he was from somewhere  over there I would 
think he was American.
 
The question was did any of the accents surprise us or  were they what we 
expected? Katie's and Gambon's did and were not for me. Please  excuse my 
topographical errors in not knowing the lay of the land over there,  and for not 
stating myself more clearly.
 
Sandy, who means no offense to anyone British, Scottish,  English, Irish or 
Oriental in heritage.
