I've seen the "Glaswegian accent" 30-seconds video on YT, then the "Scottish Accent Lessons" joke series, and am wondering if there are videos with Scottish accent in more real application, like on TV, radio. If someone has links, please, share them. Thanks.

Look up "Rab. C. Nesbitt" on YouTube. It's a comedy series set in Glasgow. The accents are slightly exaggerated for comic effect, but only slightly! If you can understand a broad Glaswegian accent, I reckon you can understand just about anything!

If you just mean the Scottish accent then Rab. C. Nesbitt is enough, also Chewin the fat & Still Game have it.
If you meant the Scots dialects/language you can find recordings and other resources on www.scotslanguage.com/ 1 person has voted this message useful | |

I have spent an hour of the past night listening to a standup show by Billy Connally. He definitely spoke with a Scottish accent, maybe even true Scots (in one of its more comprehensible versions). Edited by Iversen on 28 December 2009 at 11:17am 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Trainspotting the novel is partly in Edinburgh dialect. When I first read the book, I had an odd feeling coming from forms of speech I was used to hearing but not reading actually appearing on the printed page. The film is also largely in Edinburgh dialect, though complicated a little by some of the actors being from Glasgow, Ewan McGregor being from Perthshire, and the actor playing Sick Boy actually being English. I thought they did a good imitation of the Edinburgh dialect/accent, though.
Apparently subtitles were needed for the film's distribution in the USA. Connolly is Glaswegian, though he slightly tones down the dialect to make sure it is comprehensible to all Scots. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

I saw a bit of Rab. C. Nesbitt … to say I understood half of it would probably be generous. The accent sure takes
some getting used to. 1 person has voted this message useful | |
