Malc in the Burgh: Happy St. Andrews' Day

Happy St. Andrews' Day

Happy St. Andrew's Day to you all. I've just seen the Scottish Government video for Homecoming 2009 - with certain Scottish stars singing 'Caledonia'. Have to say, some of it is pretty good. Some of it, pretty cringy... Here it is:

Sam Torrance for the X-Factor next year anyone? I reckon Chris Hoy might make the outtakes...

Incidentally, when our rugby boys are on, does anyone know what the picture is in the background? Looks like Strathisla Distillery in my hometown (Keith) but does anyone know different?
