Rod Stewart... be still my heart, lol.

His raspy voice has delevered some great ballads and rock music.

He’s a tall Scot, unlike the wee Sheena, whose “Almost Over You” is one of the most haunting songs ever recorded.

Rod was possibly good enough to play professional football (soccer) when he was a wee lad. He always comes across as pleasant and charming. He is nice to his ex-wives and they all seem to remain friends.

I used to love watching the Bill Forsynth films about Scotland. Gregory’s Girl with Claire Grogan who sang in a band the did “I Could Be Happy” and a song called Happy Birthday but not the Happy Birthday.

Another one was Comfort and Joy with Bill Paterson. Calre Grogan was in that one too. Local Hero was his big film and one of Burt Lancaster’s last films. If you like Scotland then check them out.

Darker Scottish films with Ewan McGregor include Trainspotting and very creepy but excellent Shallow Grave.
