I found the original comment about the Scottish accent in a document I had saved. Megan said:
The Eddisians, by the way. Ruwena, lass, did yu na' newtice, they-ur Scotts? That's not entirely true, of course (though I do think of them with Claymores, sometimes). They are also the Swiss Pikeman, and the Spartans rolled up together, and the Saxons pushed into the hills by the Normans. They are everybody who has ever held the highlands, including the people Kim visited in the Himalayas in Kipling's stories. I do think of them speaking with a burr, though that may be because they are a broad chested race. I think that I said in THE THIEF (how embarrassing to be unsure AND too lazy to go check) that the underclass in Sounis and in Attolia drop their h's and swallow the ends of their words.
