I’m the 12th ‘hottest’ person in Scotland right now, according to The List magazine. Just goes to show how sparsely populated Scotland is ;) PictishTrail
Hi @thelistmagazine nice to see so many interesting and talented Scots in your Hot 100 but whatever way you look at her Susan Boyle’s nae hot. foundtheband NOT-SO-HOT 100
@PictishTrail Well done Re: The Hot 100 (673)
LETTER OF THE FORTNIGHT
WHAT’S IN A NAME? Hi there, Reading through my latest issue of The List, I noticed some startling monikers behind the articles. Jay Thundercliffe? Dit Beauvois? Where do you find these fantastically-named journalists? Sincerely, Hildegaard Flamebeard
THE LETTER OF THE ISSUE WILL RECEIVE ONE BOTTLE OF THE BLACK GROUSE WHISKY Smoky and Smooth – a marriage of fine peated Scotch malt whiskies and The Famous Grouse
@thelistmagazine No @detourscotland in the Hot 100? How dare! x spiral_scratch
@thelistmagazine Think you got the significance of Kim Coleman and Jenny Hogarth slightly out of proportion? Ahead of Richard Wright? Seriously? JanieNicoll @thelistmagazine some remarkable exclusions there and a suspicious revision of opinion re a certain act at the
Fringe. Scandalous. scottagnew
@thelistmagazine Great list, but I disagree: David Tennant HAS been interesting, successful and creative this year (as he is every year) ;-) helygen @thelistmagazine Sorry to correct you, but in Scotland it is ‘Kulchur’. DaveLoudon
