I don't know if it's just because I'm tired, but I couldn't stop

It does to my ears too. Old Scots, at least the West Coast variety
sounds similar. But then it is descended from Middle English.
We studded Chaucer at school and I was never able to make heads or tails
of it. A few years ago a friend recited a passage using a broad Scots
accent. It suddenly became clear almost like listening to a Burn poem.
But still none of this answers your question?
How can we know how languages, even our own
languages, were spoken before the earliest surviving audio recordings?
Back then there weren't any meticulous (if any) pronunciation guides
for any language.
I don't know.

What's the point?
If you like, I could send you the .flv file, if you can play them.

Nope! but I get the idea from the titles.
When the iphone 4 came out. BBC news sent a recording team to Aberdeen
to check it out. In the clip below the policeman whose voice it
recognised was from Dundee. A very different accent from the Aberdeen Doric.

It's a comedy sketch. I don't think you get the idea without watching
it...

Fine, you can remove it now. Funnily enough I did get the idea from the
title.
