I thought I'd heard or read somewhere that the purest form of English was spoken in Inverness, so I did a google and found the following:

Scottish Dialect

The Scottish Dialect

Scotland’s rich variety of dialects contains some of the clearest and most melodic English spoken anywhere in the world.

Scotland has a wealth of dialects but the key thing for the newcomer to remember is that while all these rich dialects exist, the majority of Scots speak standard English with an intelligible Scottish accent.

Indeed, Scottish accents are the most popular among call centre users across the whole of the UK and it is said that the Highlanders from around Inverness speak the clearest and most melodious form of English anywhere in Britain.
