Many quickly took to the TikTok comments to share their views on the accent from the Disneyland cast member after the 'meet and greet' clip was shared online.

Scots have been left unimpressed by the accent of a Disneyland cast member portraying the Brave character Merida at one of their famous parks.

A video introducing the new and enthusiastic actress was posted on TikTok by a former cast member earlier on Monday. The 'meet and greet' clip shows the young actress responding to a question made by the creator about bears in the Scottish-themed film.


While Kelly Macdonald plays the character in the film, many Scots were left questioning the accent of the park actress after watching the introductory video.
