Oh, college roommate (while I'm Scottish, I've been stateside since I was 5) went to Scotland with me once. He missed about 1/4 of anything my uncle said. My uncle has a pretty typical working class highland accent (a bit more brogue than a professional from Edinburgh might have, but a far cry from Glaswegian - my family is from Perthshire).

They were initially relieved that they all spoke English, but soon realized they could barely understand what the Scottish guy was saying.
