Gordon Ramsey is Scottish, Geldof is Irish, so I assume any Brit.

Yes he is (Irish), so I suppose anyone from the British Isles is eligible.

Since I appear to have lost my mobile phone today, if anyone wanted to test the new note on me I wouldn't say no!
Found it! But I would still be happy to hear from the bank of England if they're doing a trial run...

In the absense of Martin (which was poor show if you ask me) it had to be Judi Dench, then you get Queen Victoria on the back!

The only "greats" in the list
The only two people on the list worthy of any consideration are Sir Winston Churchill and Lady Thatcher. R J Mitchell (the inventor of the Spitfire aircraft) should also be included. It is surely "taking the mickey" to even suggest the likes of Blair, Bono or the former Princess of Wales.

Does the Royal Mint produce the Scottish £100 notes or is that another mint?

The Scottish notes are issued by private banks (RBS, Bank of Scotland and Clydesdale) so I would guess not. But I may be wrong.
