Sam sings! And Big Tam, too!

[John_Findlay]

Just seen the new advert on telly promoting Scotland and spotted Sam Torrance giving it his best....and Sean Connery too.

What d'you think? Kinda murdered Dougie MacLean's wonderful "Caledonia" but hey...

Here's the YouTube link....

brilliant advert john i love watchin it when it comes on tv but thats just me being patriotic the only thing that waists it a wee bit is that wee belching ##### at the end,

It's the theme song of the incredible Last Of The Mohicans.

I cringed when this was aired but my wife liked it but she does sound like a Cobra F Speed when she sings tho.

The truth is it was all folmed on a blue screen and Shir Shhhean Connery didnt even come over here to folm it.

I love the patriotic scotts as almost all of them have lived and worked elsewhere most of their adult lives, rarely popping back there to sample the wonderful midges,rain,haggis,new year and glasgow kisses oops was that a bit harsh?

It's not scotts(plonker)it is actually...Scots(singular T,
not double T as in Scott's Porridge Oats)
Hope this helps your grasp of langauge????

Thankyou for the Engrish lesson but you mis-understand, that I always mis-spell things for just such occasions and to wind up the Scotch You see I dont bother if someone calls me Engellish or English, Bwittish or British the way other Nationalities do, I have more important and interesting things to focus on.

Herb.........come on "wind up the Scotch" a clockwork glass of whisky, now there's a first.

 

[viscount17]

I ask this merely as a seeker of knowledge you understand, so why is whisky called Scotch when it's really Chinese?

You’re getting things mixed up. After a few whiskies you have the Chinese. Honestly, some people around here.

Andy Stewart was the regular export from scotland every new year. Some channel would always have him on, singing away, in his kilt, with his one leg dance
