A writing question

I've no plans to write out Scotty's accent. Scottish accents are best left to the imagination of the reader, as their main sound [to my American ear] is the way the Rs roll out. But, if you were to write out Scotty's accent, how would you spell things?

The "keptin" might work though. I've read quite a few fics where it really just adds to his personality. It doesn't break flow at all.

Mind, I usually just read all of his lines in a Russian accent any way, even if it's not written that way.
