Duncan Macrae was a Scottish actor who appeared in many films - Whisky Galore, Rockets Galore, Geordie, etc. he was born in Glasgow, but used a Highland accent in most of his movies. I've never heard him referred to as a comedian. See www.uk.imdb.com Eileen > > "I'll just have a pheasant and a wee cup of tea" >
