Confused about her accent

I'm sure this is going to sound a bit ignorant, and I confess I'm hardly an expert on regional accents, but does anyone know why her accent sounds a lot closer to Irish than Scottish? I mean, she doesn't even have the Scottish rolled 'r' (like they all have on Taggart, for instance).

I don't hear any irish at all and our firm has a lot of clients from England/Scotland/Ireland.

I just like listening to her talk because she always sounds so excited and it seems like she's bursting to get her words out.

What do we want?
Time travel!
When do we want it?
It's irrelevant!
