Too specific for this map but there's also an intriguing case of town in England called Corby, where people speak mainly with a Scottish accent https://www.bbc.

- n4r9 1y ago[edit - Corby is on the map! It refers to the accent as "Corbyite" in the middle of "Northants".] The TV programme "Toxin Town" is set in Corby, about birth defects caused by mishandled environmental waste. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/ckg7pvl59wxo https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/ckg7pvl59wxo
