I watched the Donald Trump biographical movie "The Apprentice" last night. It's a decent enough film but I did have to chuckle at their portrayal of Trump's mother Mary Ann Macleod. Actors have always struggled with Hebridean accents IMO & this instance was no different.
I'm actually struggling to think of an example of a non-Hebridean actor accomplishing the accent. (They often opt for a Whisky Galore type caricature). I'm puzzled why so many of them struggle with it as I've worked with a few people over the years who've absolutely nailed-it

@TheLengthsman 38mm tubeless tyres make it a pretty comfortable journey. The road is largely free from vehicles & I've always found those that do travel on-it to be extremely courteous (hope I've not just cast the "commentators curse" with that)
Congratulations to Rachael Johnstone, a former pupil of Sir E Scott School who was named today in the Scotland Womenโs Under-23 squad for two matches later this month against Belgium and Czechia.
Fantastic news!
