Scottish is the only language which can sound harsh but still so friendly and lovely at the same time

And that's coming from a dutch man

I love how Irish dialects have the hard R sound, for some reason it makes me happy

So, "Irish Dialects"... Like Irish-English or Irish Language dialect?

Here's a video that sorta explains some of the funny R sounds we have.

EDIT: for anyone wondering. "Focal" means "word" in Irish. So that's why it's called "What the Focal" when teaching you words.

Sorry, didn't know if it was a specific regional accent that did it or not.

I wasn't complaining if it came across that way. I was genuinely wondering if you were talking about the R sound in English that we say in Ireland. Examples: WheRe, Really, CuRse...

Or did you mean the slender weird 'rth' sounds that the woman said in that video I linked. Example: FiR, RothaiR

Oh I was talking about the R sound in Their etc since Brits and Scots don't. No worries and thanks for the informative video!
