Any Scottish people here?

I am intrigued as to why they chose a Scottish origin for McLeod/Nash in the first place.
I've read a couple of variations, but basically the story goes that the writer was travelling in Scotland and England, went to a museum that had old weapons and armor, and started imagining what it would be like if a guy who had used that stuff was still alive today. -

I love this movie. Everything about it. Always have.
Yes, okay, the main character is a Scotsman played by a Frenchman and, yes, his mentor is an Egyptian played by a Scotsman it's silly, but if you just accept it - it's magnificent.
Who loves ya, baby? -

Born and raised in Glasgow, I loved this movie. I have no problem with a frenchman playing a Scotsman as I though Lambert was great (No worse than Mel Gibson's performance as a Scot!). This was always one of my favourites from my childhood. Such a shame though about the sequels (although I also quite enjoyed the third one).

True, but at least Mel Gibson tried to have a Scottish accent. He kind of failed at it, but he tried. I still think that Lambert was perfect for it though.

How do you know Lambert didn't try? He couldn't speak English except for a few phrases and words when filming started. Considering how different French is from English, I think he did his best to sound Scottish in the 1500's, and sound unspecific in the modern day.
It's hardly his fault he got cast in the film is it??
You should put the blame on the Mulcahy, Panzer, Davis, Dimeo and McLean.
