Scottish Female Celebrities?

**Monkey@Arms** · 21st April 08, 11:18 PM

I am helping my 12 year old with a school project (more on this later). Among the information we are gathering are famous Scots. Its easy to come up with men, but I'm having a hard time identifying women. Sure there's royalty, and Flora MacDonald, but try coming up with someone a 12 year old would have heard of, like a Ewan McGregor. Any suggestions?

Best regards,

Jake

How about the 1960/70's pop singer Lulu?

...close inspection indicates that the Girl Scouts should maybe be wearing Gordon.

My vote would be for "Colonel" Anne (Farquharson) MacIntosh, who raised a contingent for Jacobite service whilst her husband was away commanding Government troops.
