Well I didn't get any hint of Scottish - maybe it's because he's enunciating every syllable? His accent sounds very clean to me; English, but I can't pick up on any inflection suggesting where in England.
That's right. I do a short "a" rather than a long "a". Bath is "ba!-th' rather than "bar-th". In my town it's not totally uncommon, but the long, southern "a" is more common. I have other southern accent traits to balance it out though, for example I don't use the glottal stop in the same way my northern family members do (although you wouldn't hear it on this recording as I'm enunciating more clearly than I usually would :P).

Does dom180 sound Scottish, or was I way off with that?

"Pass" and "basket" were not pronounced in the standard southern way.
