Authors, don't do this. You've already established the setting is Scotland & as such *everyone* sounds like this. When you put on this simply unintelligible written dialect for every servant, every farmer, every tradesperson in the street, it doesn't convey verisimilitude as much as a gross sense of classicism.
One assumes a writer writes to be read. Readers will simply skip over unintelligible dialogue & any info you meant to convey is lost.
Lindy I'm happy to find long passages of dialect. I really enjoy reading it. 8y
