Moving to Scotland in a few months - will my children lose their accent

As the title says - moving to Scotland (Glasgow) in a few months from South West England with my 2 children age 8 and 3. I know my 3 year old will end up speaking with a Glaswegian accent but my 8 year old? Not bothered either way but curious to know :-)

We relocated from SE England to Ireland 18months ago and my dc's accent is now a mix with mostly Irish inflections so I think in another year they will have a full on Irish accent (aged 11).

Maybe not real, broad, Glaswegian. Might get the Glasgow Uni accent depending on where you are living and who they go to school with.

That's worse.

My DS (now 8) moved to Cardiff from SW England 3 years ago and doesn't have a trace of a welsh accent, although he did say "haitch" the other day which was quickly stamped on

He might, my dad moved from London to Glasgow when he was 14 and by the time he met my mum a few years later he had no trace of an English accent.
