What accent does Karin Page in "Hated in the Nation" use?

I'd guess a Scottish one, quite similar to "Trainspotting" characters'. Kelly MacDonald, acting in Karin's role, is indeed Scottish (and was in "Trainspotting" itself).

I had trouble understanding the 2 female detectives also. They reminded me of that woman on X Factor. Maybe she's from the same region as the actresses are supposed to be from.

I had to watch it with closed captioning. Sounded Scottish to me too.

Americans are hopeless on accents- i was in LA recently and my brit accent was thought australian- oh you all sound the same to me i was told! Yeah right!

Actually, most people whom I know, can tell the difference. I recognize the accent of the women on the episode, but I just can't #$@*# understand it. Very garbled. I used subtitles.

They thought my grandmother (scottish) was Australian too.

Sounded like the Irish accent she used in Boardwalk Empire.
