Scotland's Most Wanted...
Number 1: David Tennant
He’s going to play Hamlet with the Royal Shakespeare company next year and so will be off our screens for a while but he’s definitely our current number one...
The Sourcebooks Shakespeare brings Shakespeare's plays to life in a revolutionary new book and CD format. This edition of "Macbeth" contains: Audio - excerpts of important scenes and passages from multiple productions, featuring Orson Welles, Sir Alec Guinness, Simon Russell Beale, Harriet Walter, Fiona Shaw and David Tennant and narration by Sir Derek Jacobi.

Number 2: Ewan McGregor
The boy from Crieff is now an international star. From Shallow Grave to Trainspotting via Star Wars, he’s hardly put a foot wrong.
A short biography of Ewan McGregor.
Long Way Round: Chasing Shadows Across the World
McGregor and his friend, Charley Boorman, rode 20,000 miles across the world and chronicled it in their bestselling book.
This is the sequel to Long Way Round. This time, the pair bike their way from John O’Groats to South Africa.
Number 3: Sean Connery
Everyone’s favourite patriotic milkman from Fountainbridge.
The rise and rise of Sir Sean.
Number 4: Robert Burns
Well, have you seen the portraits?
A Choice of Burns's Poems and Songs
This Faber selection sets out to be representative of the whole range of Burns’s Scottish verse – tender, lyrical, caustic or ribald.
Number 5: Dougray Scott
Seen in Desperate Housewives on TV recently, his rather rough charm is something we specialise in in this country.
A Sense of Belonging to Scotland
Number 6: Mary, Queen of Scots
She caused a rumpus in Presbyterian Edinburgh at the age of eighteen. This biography is one of the best on this troubled queen.
Number 7: Robert Carlyle
He played Hamish McBeth in the eponymous TV series as well as Begbie in Trainspotting: two fairly contrasting characters.
The Pocket Scottish Movie Book
Number 8: Alastair MacKenzie
He played Archie MacDonald in the Monarch of the Glen on TV. Yes, we know, it’s a tenuous link but... can’t possibly leave him out.
Easy Walks in Monarch of the Glen Country
Number 9: Chris Guthrie
One of the great female characters in Scottish literature. Chris Guthrie grows from a child into adulthood in the trilogy and along the way, captures the imagination...
Number 10: Alan Cumming
Kind of scrawny, but a fun guy. Tommy’s Tale was his literary debut.
Meet Tommy. He's a party boy living it up among London's beautiful people. He has a morbid fear of the C-word - commitment, the B-word - boyfriend, and the F-word, forgetting to call his drug dealer before the weekend. He's the pert side of 30, but he's having a crisis. He wants to become a father!
