This is mostly a flavor thing. I say run with it. Accents and dialects tend to stem from cultural differences, or the refinement/meshing as two languages merge together (for example Occitan. Though there is debate as to whether this is a dialect or a separate language). This is particularly true when several geographical areas all share a common language. A scottish style accent would hardly be out of the norm.
From a game perspective, there are plenty of NPCs that speak in varied dialects or forms of speech. These NPCs are even located in the same area or even city-state. The naming conventions on the Lodestone Lore forums even point to there being racial languages (or at least there having been racial specific languages at one time). This would also have an effect on a character's speech patterns. Heck, when I RP Yssen he often uses different accents and even slang from various real world sources. I have even had him quote latin sayings such as "Sic Semper Tyrannis" and "In Vino Veritas" from time to time. Does Latin exist in game? Probably not, but it would be silly to say that there is no form of scholarly dead language used almost exclusively scholars, priests, and other learned folk. Such a thing has always existed in our own culture, and using the real world Latin is a bit of a place holder for that. At least, that is how I view it.
Other bits of food for thought, never underestimate the power of speaking differently than normal as a tool to conceal one's identity. Borrowing and mixing various bits of dialect and such also makes it more difficult for other to tell where a character is from. In short, I highly doubt anyone is going to scream "lore break" on you for adding a bit of flavorful flair to your character's speech. Me, I say more power to you, keep it up.
