Hmmm...I don't know how to tell you this, but we really don't give
Scottish lessons here. 

 You may try listening to BBC Scotland- after awhile it becomes
familiar:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/scotland/radioscotland/view/show.shtml?news

the following page has a link about listening to Scottish speakers:

http://www.acoustics.org/press/144th/Escudero.htm

here is a link to Scottish phonetics:

http://www.tcd.ie/CLCS/phonetics/teaching/phonetics-phonemics.html

this one, Friends of Scotland, has a place to contact them:

Hope you can figure it out.
