Oh, hey! I never consciously made this connection (I should note that I've read only the first Lymond book), but just yesterday I was talking to someone on Reddit about feeling awkward and blocked when you try to be really mean to your characters because a voice in your head says, "You can't do that, you need to have pure motivations about the craft of writing and not just think it makes for a more interesting story." And my retort to that was, "It's not like Dorothy Dunnett beat up on Lymond or Megan Whalen Turner [spoiler'd] Gen to make some esoteric symbolic point!"
I think I read once upon a time that the Eddisian accent is something like Scottish
Just reread the bit in KoA where Gen's cousins come by to keep hi in bed while he heals, and imagined them with Scottish accents. Did not know that it was meant to be that way!
