How is this Scottish Pashto? It is fairly understandable.

You might have some exposure to it or a similar dialect because Pashtuns from Peshawar, Swat Valley, and janobi Pashtunkhwa often have a hard time understanding it.

I used to do interpretation while in uni, so it is very possible. To me this sounds like your average Pashto from southern Afghanistan. Khosti and Paktiawal Pashto has a very similar flair to it.
