I just saw The Ugly Truth with Gerard Butler; he doesn't have a scots accent in the film but it is trying its hardest to get out the whole way through!
I have to agree that Christopher Lambert's 'Highlander' accent is excruciating, but for me the most laughable attempt at a Scottish accent was on an episode of Sex and the City, when Charlotte got married to Kyle MacLachlan's character. There was a guy on that episode who's accent was shocking.
Well scotty had a good look when he spoke, however, he just happened to be generations off, using the old timey Scotts dialect to a fault. Probably picked it up from watching Rathbone's sherlock holmes etc etc
Oh yes, I meant to say Scotty = rubbish accent.Wait! I can't believe I didn't think of this one straight away:
Most ludicrous Scottish accent in celluloid history must go to the extremely French Christopher Lambert in "Highlander".
And the very Scottish Sean Connery didn't even attempt a Spanish accent.
I hope Scotty falls into the "worst" pile? Even Scottish folk do rubbish Scottish accents when trying to quote Scotty...well, cronies of mine do after a few pints...

I genuinely think Mike Myers has one of the better ones though.
"Heid!" And cans of Export...anyone not Scottish just watch So I Married An Axe Murderer, it's all true...
