A Canadian woman who fell off a horse and awoke with a Scottish accent is now to write a book about how the bizarre accident changed her life.
Mother of two, Sharon Campbell-Rayment, 50, who runs a horse riding school in Ontario had never been to Scotland before the accident in 2008.
She was knocked unconscious when she hit her head after she fell from her favorite horse Malachi and was left unable to talk for several days.

When her voice came back, it did so with an uncontrollable stutter that left her needing speech therapy.
Eight weeks of work regaining her voice worked - but Sharon was stunned to discover that she now spoke in a Scottish accent using words such as 'wee', 'grand', 'awright' and 'brilliant'.
Stunned doctors diagnosed foreign accent syndrome and told her that she was one of only 60 people around the world who suffer from the condition
