ELI5: How did a scottish accent become the principle accent for dwarves in a fantasy setting?
gpt
It's not a Scottish accent, it's a dwarf accent.  Jokes aside. Dwarves historically were based on Nordic/Viking culture and didn't necessarily have a set accent before they started frequenting film/video games.  Most Americans at the time this started would have a difficult time recognizing (or thinking it sounds silly for a tough dwarf) something that would most resemble a Viking accent like Scandinavian.  At one point the Scottish highlands were controlled by Norsemen and some clans in Scotland have Viking lineage so the accent was chosen.  

Of course, there is no right answer, it is the true definition of a meme.
