No really. Maist o the fowk in thae castles were educated at Eton , Harrow or Winchester.

Actually Julian Fellowes, the author of Gosford Park and Downton Abbey is also an actor, who was called on to play the role of Lord Kilwillie (snigger) in Monarch of the Glen. When he asked whether he would need a dialogue coach he was assured that all the gentry spoke just like him.

Ah well, if you can find a wee tea shoppie open in these parts, the proprietors may be native. Though I am not sure of which country they are native. Possibly a wide knowledge of languages like Urdu, Swahili or whatever they speak in Essex may be required.

Not if it’s a bouncy castle ?

True story. I worked a summer in Scotland erecting log Cabins just for the experience of gallivanting around the highlands every weekend exploring. Which was wonderful.
In a pub on my first free Friday night I ordered a pint of Irn Bru at the bar , thinking it sounds like a pint of something really good, heavy and strong. Cheers😂
