I would agreeUndoubtedly the very local distinctions between accents have been eroded due to the ubiquity of travel these days, but some places still have very strong accents and/or dialects.
The north east of Scotland is a case in point. Even I have trouble understanding someone from deepest Aberdeenshire, and it's only 80 miles away!

Doric is incredibly hard to understand.Coming from the far North though and living further south now, I've had great experience in adjusting and adapting my ear and my tongue (oo-er) for whatever situation.
