14 James M Barrie

[MarkRae]

11 is almost an anagram of Edward Jenner, though he wasn't Scottish either...

21. Alec Salmond fits but I thought he was Alex rather than Alec

Are you sure they are all Scots, and not to do with Scotland, as Markrae
says if its Joseph Lister, he was English.

[joanne2303]

it does say famous scots, x

WILLIAM WALLACE SCOTTISH REBEL!!!! love that song in horrible histories lol :)

[emmie]

Has to be someone else then, if they are indeed all Scottish.

[MarkRae]

Is this a "reputable" quiz, Joanne, no disrespect intended... :-) I.e. is there the slightest chance that the compiler might really think that Joseph Lister was Scottish because of his strong association with Glasgow...?

[THECORBYLOON]

Lister worked at the Glasgow Royal Infirmary but was born in England and Salmond is indeed Alex and not Alec. Would you not think that a wee bit checking would have been done by the compiler?

[THECORBYLOON]

I wonder if Angelo Dundee is one of the answers?

[MarkRae]

Not to mention Sly Dunbar and Aberdeen Angus...

[emmie]

Or even David Cameron, perhaps not.
