Who was the greatest Scottish hero?

For me it was Rab C. Nesbitt. See http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hyYuZi44 ... re=related

Ich bin ein sheepshagger! Any one want to argue with that?

If we're talking comedy heros (and excluding the Big Yin)

Never really found Rab C that funny - and certainly not after Gregor Fisher booted the ar*e out of the charcater for three series too many..

MacGlashan.........on the other hand.....well see for yourselves...

Heaven forbid! At last I agree with you about somethin', 7th!!

Must be the season of peace and goodwill right enough.

The folks in Oz claim some of the credit tho'.

More evidence of unconstrained goodwill - Erik, I liked the McGlashan stuff very much!! But ye canny beat the likes o' http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=odNNgEn5l6s

What's up Spidee - did Clarence visit you on the bridge???

Good to see we agree on something

Like the post too Seventh - only two scots in the band now

However - I did say:

If we're talking comedy heros (and excluding the Big Yin)

So how's about...

Yes - he's not Scottish either but there is a Scotland reference - tenuous link I know.

Eric and seventh. Is it too much to ask for a Scottish hero. Not saying these aint good but as your teachers at school might have said could do better.

Makes Sense · Post by **Makes Sense** » Fri Dec 21, 2007 12:50 am

Sorry seventh you at least had one Scottish related choice.

Hi Makes sense, the reason I chose AC DC is because The Young brothers were all born in Scotland and the lead singer Bon Scot (short for Bonnie Scotland) was also born in Scotland, and played the bag pipes on their first album. as for the fourth member I am not sure.....I did have my tongue in my cheek when putting it up though as they are obviously from Australia.

At the risk of being yellow carded for pedentary......

AC/DC were/are a five piece - Phil Rudd & Cliff Williams were the other original band members.

George Young (brother of Malcolm & Angus) was the producer and was a one time member of that popular sixties beat combo the Easybeats

O~K now my pub quiz audition is over heres something quintessentially Scottish.........if you forget it's made by monks in Devon
