It'll bring out the scotsman in you...
...on holiday once I was having a few drinks and finding myself in a Scottish pub I made the mistake of asking for my first drink with a scottish accent. Something in my head just thought that would be a good idea at the time.

It slightly backfired when the scotsman behind the bar, obviously bored with the slow night, was so glad to meet a fellow countryman that he began chatting to me and asking where I was from etc.

This meant I had to increasingly tell lies about my whole scottish upbringing (having grown up in North london!) yet drink like a fish.

I kid you not when you're plastered at 3 in the morning in a hot country it's not that easy to carry off a glaswegian accent and keep a massive series of lies going. Somehow I managed it and was even propositioned by a scotty lass in the bar. Sadly she was short, ugly and incredibly drunk so I declined. I was however very amused to see her fall flat on her face (literally pancaked!) just 5 mins later when trying to leave with her friends.

You must have been pretty convincing
Most English people trying to do a Scottish accent sound nothing like Scots.

Unless the barman was just trying to keep you there and get you to spend your money...

That's hilarious :-)
I suffer from 'wandering accent' syndrome at the most inopportune times. I think it's my deep-rooted desire to fit in..

Please like me.

I do have the added advantage
that I was actually born in Scotland (left when I was a nipper) but regularly visited my god parents and their children. To this day I can do a convincing accent, and somehow I'm better at it when drunk (adds to the glaswegian aspect I suppose!).
