Newcastle is not too far from the Scottish border. However, to a British ear, a Newcastle (Geordie) accent would never be confused with a Scottish accent.
From your question, I assume you think a British accent is the type of English accent that Hollywood likes to use. In fact "British" means English, Scottish, Welsh or Northern Irish. All of them have countless regional accents.
I see from other questions that you are American. There is no way anyone British would EVER mistake the Geordie accent of Newcastle for Scottish, and that explains the other answers you're getting.
The accents do have similarities, and as you know, Newcastle isn't far from the Scottish border so that's not surprising. Nevertheless it is an ENGLISH accent.
England itself has a wide variety of accents, some quite distinctive - at least to us, if not to you - and if I hear anyone with one of those, I immediately know where they're from. And Scotland IS part of Britain, so how can you possibly say he doesn't sound British even if he WAS Scottish?
Bit of a thicko aren't you. Also - there is no such thing as 'a Scottish accent'. Just as a Geordie accent sounds different from a Liverpool one, a Glasgow accentsounds entirely different from an Edinburgh one.
Americans always seem to assume that any English person that doesnt sound like Hugh Grant is A) Irish B) Scottish C) Australian.
Is a similar accent but is an ENGLISH one....By the way SCOTTISH sound BRITISH because they are that just like the WELSH,ENGLISH and NOTHERN IRISH...Are YOU out to offend?
He doesn't sound Scottish, pet - he sounds Geordie. Learn the difference or everything will go horribly wrong for you.
"more scottish than british" some confusion here I think...
Your knowledge of the UK is very poor and makes you appear to be an idiot
"He sounds more Scottish than British?"
Scotland is apart of Britain.
Does he know he's dating a moron?
A very poor attempt.
Must try harder.
