Famous for what? For a nation of five million there are a high percentage of us famous for one reason or another.
Five Scotsmen in science: John Logie Baird (inventor of TV), Alexander Graham Bell (inventor of the telephone), Robert Watson Watt (inventor of radar), Alexander Fleming (discovered penicillin), John Napier (logarithims and the decimal point) and for a bonus extra one Joseph Lister (anitbiotics).
Five Scotsmen in Entertainment: Billy Connelly (Mrs Brown), Robert Carlyle (The Full Monty), Billy Boyd (Lord Of The Rings), Brian Cox (X-Men 2) and David Tennant (Dr Who).
Five Scotsmen in Music: Bobby Gillespie (Primal Scream / Jesus and Mary Chain), both halves of The Proclaimers, Midge Ure (Ultravox / Live Aid), Angus Young and Bon Scott (ACDC), Jim Kerr (Simple Minds) as well as Belle and Seabstian, Travis, Franz Ferdinand, Wet Wet Wet and Darius Pop Idol (but we don't like to talk about him).
Two famous Scotswomen in science: Willimina Fleming (creating star cataloging) and Francis Masson (discovered several plant species).
Two famous Scotswomen in Entertainment: Lorraine Kelly (GMTV), Daniela Nardini (This Life), as well as Edith Bowman (Radio 1 DJ), Gail Porter, Carol Smilie and Kirsty Gallagher.
Two famous Scotswomen in Music: Shirley Manson (Garbage), Annie Lennox (Eurythmics) and Sheena Easton, Lulu and the bits of Belle and Sebastian that didn't count as Scotsmen.
And many many more...
