British Accents...
 
Hello, everyone!
 
I am considering using the following video for a lesson. But I am curious to know where this young man is from. I would like to know about his accent. What city or region is he from? Is the baker from the same city?

Could anyone help me, please?

Note: it is the first video starting with "Horses? Clothes looking like that?"
 

Thanks a lot! 
Lilli Zen.

Yes, he sounds Scottish.
 
It sounds like an educated Glasgow accent, so I think that he is a Glaswegian.

It�s Martin Dougan � from Partick (original home of the mighty Jags!) in Glasgow:

Incidentally, I�m quite sure Martin is perfectly aware of the Scottish origin of many of the Hallowe�en traditions (not least the name itself)

Oh, and the baker has an English accent Smile
