The Proclaimers are from Scotland right enough and as you say their
accents should give it away.
Also, the Futureheads aren't Scottish, they're from a city in the
north of England called Sunderland. Again, you're maybe not picking up
on the regional accents but one of the reasons they really stand out
is because they sing in really broad Macam accents (a macam is what
you call someone from Sunderland, just like a Geordie is from
Newcastle).
Oh, and I'm also glad to say that the Futureheads cover of Hounds Of
Love just went into the UK Top Ten last night. Shame it couldn't have
been one of their own songs but still good for them.
