I love the way edinburgh is so pretty but I do have a bigger love for Glasgow dont quite know why.
But it was the birth place ultimately for my fav band ever, Runrig their amazing those guys I think now they have just got even better its wonderful, it will be brill I think on new years eve.
Do love probably the biggest song that Robert Burns ever wrote, Auld Lang Syne its such a nice song, in its entirity its nothing short of the most beautiful song Ive ever listened to!
He said in his book, if I remember correctly, that he would go back if Scotland was declared independant, and that is why he stays away, to prove a point.
Anyway I don't care it's Sean Connery, he can do whatever the hell he likes. :P
Exactly, this is a guy who is so passionate about Scottish independance, yet he lives in Hollywood. I think too many people use the claim to be Scottish or even Irish as more of a marketing thing over anything else.
if these people love Scotland why do they live elsewhere???
They all got money and have a choice.
Oh bytheby I'm Scots and live in Fife but I've seen Scotland go down the pan for the last 2 decades,no wonder so many skilled labour leave for Canada or NZ and Oz....
Oh you can all complain about the actors they used, and the reasons for airing this advert, but it makes me fucking proud to be Scottish!!! I know the weather is shite and some of the people are assholes, but i wouldn't live anywhere else!!!
I think Lulu's presence on this is more offensive than Connery's, whenever she does an interview she talks in a weird American accent and whenever she returns to Scotland and does an interview, she talks in a pyoor broad Weegie accent byrraway. Total fake so she is.
i think so mate. i think we should maybe chip in to help him come home to scotland seeing as he talks about how much misses it that much but never seems to make it over.
As an expat Scot - heard about this from family. Sorry, but this is awful - cringe-making nonsense. Are these the only notable Sctos the SNP could drag up??? OH dear oh dear. At least it won't be seen by any (but a tiny minority) outside Scotland.
Why cant they show Glasgow on a Saturday after noon, busy, thriving and with rocking bagpipes playing AND the highlands and the middle of nowhere? That's a good vision of Scotland
She has pissed off to the states and only puts on the accent when she comes home and when she sings she has an American accent.
Wee Lulu from the Glasgow slums, soon forgotten about and Sir Sean the man who only stays in Scotland for a couple of days in fear of being taxed!
It is just an SNP Scam, how about have the real people of Scotland in the advert! We are the people who have to put up with the crap in this country and can't afford to live the life of luxuries.
love the song great chris hoy is in it great guy lulu i dont know about she only ever sounds scottish if shes on lorrine kelly .and sean connery only ever in scotland for a free footie ticket thanks that my rant over with lol
He was born in England though...hes English...not that theres anything wrong with the English I juts hate when people say mainly Americs "I'm scottish because my great great great gran is" Bull shit your not Scottish your American.
Lets say your Scottish and you moved to America and you decided you were going to go back to Scotland for a while like a couple of weeks holiday...Would you say you were going home? I certainly would
Embarrassing. Connery and Lulu don't even live in Scotland and haven't for years. I have no idea what this ad is supposed to say. Scotland is way better than this.
sorry but nearly every pic in this advert has a dark gloomy background...if u want to see a good advert about scotland type in 'robbie cockburn advert' (the 1 with welcome to scotland picture
Rod Stewart isn't Scottish though so that would make no sense what so ever to include him. Also, nothing to do with your comment but who gives a fuck if sean connery or lulu don't live in Scotland...does that really make them that bad of people? They can still love the country they came from.
Well yeh, he's half scottish half english but is really proud of his heritage. yeh i agree with u
who cares!? no wonder they live abroad thats where their business is! i cant imagine connery on river city anyway (The worst soap ever to be made,set in glasgow).
I am a Scot living abroad and moved abroad because I could not find work in which I am trained in. I am contemplating back next year so hopefully I can come, live in my country of birth and find work there so I can live there long time.
Totally agree with Darryl's comments about Connery. If I had his wealth I would happily live in Scotland. Ok, you pay more tax but so what, you are living in the country you were born in and want to live in.
Connery: So proud of Scotland an being Scottish he lives in the Bahamas. He would probably say he would come back if we were independent but the only reason he can say that is because he knows that it will never happen. Maybe I am being too cynical, let's go with Shreks idea of joining the arc of prosperity.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA this is sooo bad!! XD but funny!
