    The advert is so bad! So, so bad. How many of the people actually live in Scotland? Also, is it just being shown on STV? Why do Scottish people need to see an advert about coming home to Scotland?

    Also, Robert Burns is overrated.

    Hmm... Does this mean we will get the delight of Alex Salmond prancing around in a kilt Jack McConnell-esque next year? :eek:

    Tbh, I think that would make me leave Scotland!
    If you can smile when things go wrong, you have someone in mind to blame. :D

    The website's got some good stuff on it (well, helped me to discover there's a major rugby match at Murrayfield the day we get marries!) but that advert is terrible.
    Got married 23rd May 2009, many thanks to all on the Weddings and Anniversaries board for their help and support!

    Rod Stewart is English.

    And Sean Connery only shows up when there's money to be made - he didn't even turn up for the first showing of the Ad

    As for the Ad, why did they have to use blue screen rather than filming the people on site
