Oh yes! My politics lecturer is from Glasgow, and it took a few weeks to get used to his strong accent. I still struggle sometimes to understand him, but it's one of the nicest accents!

I like scottish accents best. They sound "earthy" to me. Like they understand the basic, primal, fundamental rules of life better or something. It's best of all when it's a cute young lady with a PhD who acts all prim and proper. Very nice contrast.

Haha! I tend to find that most accents really have attractive qualities. It doesn't hurt when an attractive person is delivering them :lol:
