Could it be that humaity owes more to Alexander Fleming than to any other person who ever lived?

sorry about the spelling should have been 'humanity'

Well Jock Scot get's my vote, for his continuous sage advice on how to wear Highland Dress correctly

If you ask the "Greatest Scot" question in Scotland during the World Cup (regardless of the fact we haven't qualified for ages!) then you'll almost certainly get only one answer.

Archie Gemmill

(Much good it did us, mind you.)

Well spoken, all. I think we could come up with top ten lists for scientists and/or naturalists, explorers, and many other categories.

And for those who keep naming an actor--well, that's a category in itself, and tough to pick even a top-ten. Naetheless, I'll see your Connery and raise you a Gordon Cameron Jackson.

I'd go along with that -- Major Jimmy "China" Cairns MC.
