As an islander from Lewis I am utterly disgusted with this movie not one single natural accent. The Lewis accent is soft and melodic, these individuals in no way represent who we are or how we exist. This is an absolute fail, shame on the producers for utterly failing to use the talent on the island in favour of actors with no idea what it is to be an islander.
We as a people have an unlimited resource available and they failed to make use of it, Scottish accents are not all the same and each area represents the input and in some instances the forced way we were made to speak by English people, the further south you go the less the impact or forced change can be noticed!
If they had used island accents the passion within the song of the accents would have carried the story to new heights, like any Welsh movie you wouldn't have an English accent or Scottish on for that purpose.
