1 Mordekai: Do all dwarves speak with a Scottish accent?
2 Dwalin: Och aye. Wi're a highl'nd pipple, ye ken. {translation: Oh yes. We're a highland people, you know.}
3 Lambert: But you live underground!
4 Dwalin: Aye. In the highl'nds! {translation: Yes. In the highlands!}

I thought it might be interesting to have a character with a distinctive dialectical variation of English. And what better than a stereotyped Scottish? Hoots, mon!
