Scottish football is full of hammer throwers.
Graeme Souness
Image
Scottish-Americans tell you that if you want to identify tartans, it's easy - you simply look under the kilt, and if it's a quarter-pounder, you know it's a McDonald's.
Billy Connolly
Image
Scottish golf is a more public game. It is more reasonably priced and they play faster. It isn't cart golf. The only reason resorts force you into carts is for the money. They are selling off the soul of the game for a few dollars.
Daniel J. King
Image
Scottish Theatre's greatest success story of recent times.
Alan Chadwick
Image
Scottish bagpipe has two tenors and one bass - three drone pipes - and then the one chanter. If you put bagpipes together, it creates such a fine sound.
Yoshi Wada
Image
The curse of Scottish literature is the lack of a whole language, which finally means the lack of a whole mind.
Edwin Muir
Image
Look at Scottish guys wearing kilts - you could look at them and laugh, but the way they carry themselves, how can you? You can wear some of the weirdest things and be cool. If you believe in it, that's what makes it cool.
Andre Benjamin

My favorite instrument is the snare drum. In Scotland, the snare drum is very prominent in Highland bands. The Scottish style of playing is in my blood. It's a very powerful instrument, but it can also be soothing, like velvet. It's a real challenge for composers.
Evelyn Glennie
Image
I am Scottish. I am also British.
Andy Murray
Image
I have several Scottish Terriers. I find them to be the most wonderful dogs.
Frederick Lenz

Our Scottish theory ... is that every country has need of Scotchmen, but that Scotland has no need of the citizens of any other country.
Arthur Balfour

We'll have more football later. Meanwhile, here are the highlights from the Scottish Cup final.
Gary Newbon
Image
Mind you, if a blockbuster movie was offered, I wouldn't say no. I can do accents - I don't always have to be Scottish.
Ashley Jensen
Image
But, indeed, the science of logic and the whole framework of philosophical thought men have kept since the days of Plato and Aristotle, has no more essential permanence as a final expression of the human mind, than the Scottish Longer Catechism.
George Herbert
Image
There are things that Scotsmen get and other people don't get in the dialogue. Scottish characters can be pinpointed by a phrase, targeted very quickly.
Bill Forsyth
Image
I like Salvador Dali and Rene Magritte. I also like the Scottish artist John Byrne, another surrealist.
Billy Connolly
Image
I do not believe the picture that some people paint of Scottish towns dependent on welfare. Every time I come here, I meet people who are determined to get into work. Who, with the right help are desperate to get off benefits, support their family and set an example for their children.
Iain Duncan Smith
Image
Sean Connery wasn't the Scottish James Bond, and Daniel Craig wasn't the blue-eyed James Bond. So if I played him, I don't want to be called the black James Bond.
Idris Elba
Image
I've never played Scots or got the chance to do my Scottish accent. I'm always trying it out in auditions, but they always say no. I'd love to act in a Scottish accent for once.
Callum Keith Rennie
Image
I actually went to drama school at the Royal Scottish Academy of Music & Drama in Glasgow, so I stayed in my home town the whole time. However, I see more of my friends now than I did then. It's strange.
James McAvoy
Image
I get recognised in the street, but that's more from all the Scottish people who are down in Blackpool on their holidays.
Charlie Adam
Image
I've been told I have an Irish temper, I know I have Scottish thrift, and, like the English, I love a good show.
Jeanette MacDonald
Image
I was a bookworm. Every week I'd go to the library and get seven books. Remember libraries? I wonder if people still go. And I learned about everything from the library. I came from a Scottish family. Old school.
Colin Mochrie
Image
I have lots of Scottish blood and know that my family name is Scottish. At my home in the States I have a tartan crest but, unfortunately, I do a terrible Scottish accent.
