He actually called himself "Jock o' the Orkneys". The Scottish cannot physically pronounce "of".

o' course you can't. Neither can I! Apparently...

Don't talk pish, plenty of us can pronounce "Of", it's just we have a language of our own called Scots in which we pronounce English words different to how the original is.

That's an accent mate, not a language ;)

double pish (and I'm not scottish) of course scots is a language. an accent is merely variations in pronunciation, a language has it's own distinct vocabulary and grammar. granted, there is some debate about if it's a dialect or a language (but you are entering a world of pain to even start on that one and you'd also need to be a linguistics specialist) but there is absolutely no debate about it being far more than an accent.
