It depends who you are addressing
If the room is full of real scotsmen, you're fucked.

If it is full of 10th generation, "I've been told that one of my ancestors was half scottish, immigrants," just give it your best shot. Wright out the speech as if it was a poem, and the pronunciation will meet the rhymes. Do it straight, and try not to sound like Billy Connolly.

What he said. If the adressee's are not Scottish, then they will probably be sitting thinking "Thank fuck i'm not doing it" and allow you to mumble your way through and applaud loudly when you are finished.

After all, there is a big plate of food to get tucked into, and whisky to get tanked, their minds will all be on that.

Thanks for that, but
they will be drinking whisky.

It's important to Scots people, and I'm not one, to spell it right.

Otherwise they throw a hissy fit and hit the nearest englishman.
