It's like every country: you get people with thick, heavy accents, and you get those who have clear, well-enunciated accents - I would happily stake one of my Aero jackets on you being able to understand me easily.
But at the verse risk of repeating myself, the Borders accent is as close to anglo-Scots as you're going to get and therefore very easy to understand.
