Played by Guinness who was half Scottish and educated in Edinburgh and Mcregor who seems completely Scottish.

Do we Scots get an exemption from the "evil Brit" trope - (OK apart from Begby or Fred the Shred, but there aren't really people like that in Scotland, honest).

It doesn't matter where Alec Guinness was born, he sounded about as Scottish as the Queen. Ewan McGregor's English accent OTOH sounds fake.

I was probably thinking of Guinness as Charles I in Cromwell.
