Is he supposed to be Irish or Scottish in this film?
When I first heard him speak, he sounded Irish but then later he sounded more Scottish.
I didn't think he ever sounded English.
Did anyone else find his accent to be here and there/wishy-washy/undecided?

John Cairncross was Scottish. He was born in Lesmahagow, which is South East from Glasgow.
I thought Allen did the accent pretty well.

Occasionally I thought he was trying to sound American.da0 I did not get Scottish. But I was also wondering about the weight thing. Was that for the role?

For someone whom has set herself up as the arbiter of all things grammatical - you spelled "imitation" incorrectly. Thought you'd appreciate having that pointed out.

I didn't think much about it until he started sounded Scottish toward the end. I may have been sidetracked by his added bulk. Was that real, or padding for the part?
There's someone in my head but it's not me.

I thought he was trying to sound less Irish to fit in with the group because the accent was weird but it blew my mind when I found out he was supposed to be scottish lol
