    I’ve never known Fife and Dundonian accents to be described as ‘pretentious’.

      Divisive meme is divisive? I assumed it was just a too big bubble for Edinburgh

        Yeah. I think they just made it too big for Edinburgh, as you say.

        But to be honest, most of the folk I know fae the ‘burgh are nae posh.

        I disagree, but whatever. You need to spend more regional time around Scotland.

          What are you disagreeing with ? I lived in Edinburgh for 25 years. 4 years in Dundee. I’ve been to most Scottish cities. Easy Coast and west I haven’t really visited and none of the islands. No higher than Inverness. Never been to ullapool or however it’s spelt.

            Ok fair enough. Maybe my 25 years in Dundee and 2 years in Edinburgh inured me to the accent.

              Who knows. I met very few Dundonians. Mostly people from Edinburgh. But the ones I did meet had mad accents. Maybe it was just them

                How could you spend 4 years on Dundee and not meet many Dundonians?

                  Exactly.

                  Where were they?

                  The pubs the clubs the shops. Everyone. They all were from outside Dundee.

                  We lived in the city centre for 2 years and all the days were filled with students. Was wild.
