The other night I watched the movie, "Dear Frankie." It was one of the "coming attractions" on "Bride and Prejudice," which I watched recently, and it looked good so I requested it from Netflix. I was particularly interested because of the Irish accents of the characters and I thought I'd get to see some Irish scenery.
So much for my linguistic skills. The accent is Scottish and the movie takes place in Glasgow. (I did get to see some spectacular Scottish scenery.) It's a good movie with exceptionally good acting, especially by the children.

A few years ago (after a programme of urban regeneration)Glasgow ran a publicity campaign with the slogan "Glasgow's miles better". Here in the east of Scotland the historic rivalry between the two cities continued as Edinburgh adopted the counter-slogan: "Edinburgh's slightly superior"!
