I am Scottish and I'm told that we sound aggressive sometimes. Especially us Weegies. (people from Glasgow) The Irish have a more happy voice. We sound similar because Scotland and Ireland have been friends for thousands of years and Gaelic is spelt the same. But pronounced Gah-Lick for Scotland and Gai-Lick for Ireland. You would notice the differences more if you were Scottish or Irish.

What is the difference between a Scottish brogue and an accent?

Nothing - Brogue is a nicer word tho. It gives a feel of a warm strong rolling speech that Accent doesn't. It just about word choice like calling something "Ultramarine" is more interesting than Blue. Acctually a brogue is different from an accent. listen to an accent then listen to a brogue you will see that there are many differences. Maybe I am wrong and biased because of my Irish and Scottish heritage, but as far as I am concerned there is a huge difference. Think Billy Boyd vs. Orlando Bloom there is a huge difference between the two. Also there are differences between the brogues themselves. the Irish brogue is (sorry to any scotts reading this) a little easier to understand. of course most of the Scottish folk I've heard (other than Billy Boyd) have very thick accents.
