The Tayside accent is a tough one if you're not used to it, even for Scottish people.
I do find that a lot of Scottish accents are becoming a bit generic in younger people now though, most people sound "Central" and the stronger accents are fading. But then, I found the same thing when I lived in Lancashire, with the old folks having a very distinct Lancashire accent which has similar elements to Yorkshire, but the younger ones having a more generic Manchester-ish accent.
