‘Hot Scots’ are a tourist attraction
Scots guys have donned their kilts in a bid to give tourism a sexy twist.
A professional rugby player, a drummer, an accountant and a martial arts instructor are among finalists from the West of Scotland who have made it on to the shortlist in the "Date a Hot Scot" contest.
Run by VisitScotland, it has been designed to promote Scotland in a way which will appeal to the young, single market.
Women can visit
www.dateahotscot.com to vote for person who will be crowned Hot Scot 2007 in April.
Some of the final few met at House for An Art Lover ahead of Valentine's Day.
Drummer Andrew Horne, from Paisley, who plays with The Porridge Men, is one of the finalists.
The 30-year-old said: "I'm delighted to have made it through to the final 20. It's a fun way to show the rest of the world what Scotland has to offer.
"I'm proud to act as an ambassador for my country and tell as many people as possible what I love about Scotland.
"With my band The Porridge Men I've already flown the flag at Tartan Week in New York, so this is just another way of spreading the word."
The Hot Scots feature on the campaign website along with a wide range of travel deals and showcased locations, which will give women an idea of where to find their "type" of Scot.
