I think you're thinking of the stereotypical Hugh Grant bumbling Englishman accent lol Scottish folk tend to sound aggressive even when we're just saying hello
Hah indeed, but that’s definitely the association most non-UK residents have when they think of “a British accent”, they think of Jason Statham in Snatch or Eddie Redmayne in...everything. Very few of them know there are dozens of dialects and that many British English speakers sound like they’re recovering from a stroke.
I don’t think the Scottish accent sounds particularly aggressive, but I guess I could see why some folks pick that up.
