Made In Scotland

All roads lead home. 'After my knighthood was announced, a woman from the BBC came to Glasgow to interview me. We sat down in a lovely hotel in a nice part of town, and she hit me with her first question- 'This must mean a lot to you, with you coming from nothing?' I looked at her, and I laughed. 'I did'nae come from nothing,' I told her. 'I come from something.' I grew up in the tenements of post-war Glasgow. I am very proud to be working class, and especially a working-class Glaswegian who has worked in the shipyards. I come from the working class. And, most of all, I come from Scotland.
