I think it's normal if you are learning a new foreign language... Like me for example, i'm brazilian and my mother language is portuguese, but i also speak english, spanish and i'm currently learning french, and i have a different region accent for each of those languages, even though i've never been out of Brazil or spent enough time with a foreigner that speaks one of those languages that i could get the accent from. Like, when i speak english my accent sounds very australian, when i speak spanish my accent sounds argentinian, and when i speak french i sound like a looner who can't pronounce the french words lol
But it's really unusual for you being Canadian and start out of nowhere to sound scottish xD Have you been watching any tv show with scottish people on it? This also influences on your speech(this is the reason why i have random accents on each of those languages that i explained above)
Is it normal to develop an accent foreign to the country you live in?
