famous Scotsmen

So during our fabulous highlands tour we made friends with our tour guide, a dashing Scotsman who liked Whiskey and thats about it. He shocked us about the many famous Scots that have a part in our everyday life. His list went on but some include... All members of AC-DC were born in Scotland and later moved to (in his words) lesser Ireland. Snow Patrol and The Frey- both muscians that are becoming popular in the US. johnny cash is also scotish. He went on to make us feel better saying he loves some American muscians like Katy Perry, Beoncye, Britney Spears, and Avril Levigne (i didn't have the heat to tell him she was Canadian). But he went on to say he liked them un-musically because he fancied then for things other then their horrible music! To go on with the list... Fleming who discoverd penicilin, Alex Grahm Bell who invented the phone was also lucky enough (in his words) to be Scotish... and the one he is most proud of the chip from the I-pod was from a Scottish inventor until the Americans stole it and put an apple on it!
