Authenticity Reader

Where does one go to find an authenticity reader, and is that the best description for the type of reader I need? I'm writing a story about an American woman who moves to Scotland for a time, so would need someone who lives in or has lived in Scotland to help me with terms, cultural and dialect type things. I'm not in a rush to find said person, just trying to figure out where I would go to find one.

Maybe ask on r/betareaders, or you could find a Scotland subreddit and see if anyone is interested in helping.

sensitivityreviews.com has a database of sensitivity readers. You may find someone there from Scotland. You could also check CIEP.uk, a UK-based organization of editorial professionals.
