Accents are one of the most hotly debated topics, especially when it comes to dating or job hunting. How you sound may not make or break your chances of getting a second date but unconscious biases about accents do affect how we see people.
Luckily for those in Edinburgh, the accent was named one of the top five most trustworthy accents in the UK, according to a study by Match. It came in just after Geordie, with Received Pronunciation taking the top spot in a study of over 2,000 Brits.
This was a stark contrast to Glaswegian which was included as the fifth least trustworthy and fourth least sexy accent. Despite this, both James McAvoy and Lorraine Kelly landed in the top 10 celebrities with the sexiest accents for their respective genders.
