    Was he a Jambo?

    IIRC he managed to kill off a fair percentage of at least one Heart of Midlothian football team....

    Maybe that makes him a jambocide.

    So desperate are they to get some women into the poll that they have included Ann Gloag, a rat-faced, sweat-shop capitalist and purveyor of shoody goods who would shoot people in the face before letting them on to 'her land', and JK Rowling, whose claim to fame is conning middle class brats into buying the same book seven times and isn't even Scottish. For vuck's sake they even mention Lulu at one point.
    What about Flora McDonald or Maw Broon?

    Betty the Auld Slapper from "Chewin' the Fat"?

    For the sake of accuracy it should be understood that Lulu is not listed among the ... ahem ... great Scots. She appears in the list of those who have not been short-listed. It appears we are to conclude that there are soooo many great Scots to choose from that-- incredibly -- there is just not space for the dubious cabaret act and Weegie bockle that is Lulu.

    Among many other great Scots women who have been shamefully ignored are Bonnie Langford, Helen Liddell, Wendy Alexander, Mrs Doubtfire, Fran and Anna and Maisie the Morningside Cat. Oh! And Marie Curie. Who is as Scottish as JK Rowling.

    My girlfriends lad is to do a talk on great Scots in his P5 class. Kids got to pick names out a hat. Think he was wanting Wallace or Burns but ended up with James Galbraith. Don't think he's too enthused about his choice.

    That was Ray Galton, who taught himself flute during scriptwriting time-outs when he worked with Alan Simpson.

    on the bold bit. Also very good at the line "Do you know who I am?". Totally fanny of a woman.

    Eric Liddell (although born in China) should be in with a shout IMO.
    Putting aside his "Chariots of Fire" olympic performances he was also an International egg chaser and a missionary. He is however probably more revered in China than here. An all round fantastic human being.

    Tbf to you lads you haven't got many to chose from. Personally I think Wee Jimmy Kranky is the most impressive Scots man I've ever seen.

    Good shout.

    Given that Gok Wan is the most famous Leicesterite I can think of, then it's no wonder that Jimmy Kranky is the most impressive Scots man you can cite
