"Too beautiful for words, a virtual Adonis"


There I was, idly perusing the Wiki page of a certain legendary Scotsman, when I became a tad disorientated.

An Edinburgh heart throb

Many of the entries seemed to 'cross' over quite neatly into what I shall tentatively dub 'the greatest Wikipedia page yet to be written', the life, leg before's and legovers of a certain Arboretum legend.

Passages (including the title of this post) such as:

"polled as "The Greatest Living Scot" and "Scotland's Greatest Living National Treasure". In 1989, he was proclaimed "Sexiest Man Alive" by Peoplemagazine and in 1999, at age 69, he was voted "Sexiest Man of the Century""

Not a CRB check in sight 

"then worked as, among other things, a lorry driver, a lifeguard at Portobello swimming baths, a labourer, an artist's model for the Edinburgh College of Art, after a suggestion by former Mr. Scotland, Archie Brennan.[20][21] and a coffin polisher."

Another Edinburgh heart throb

Will Hollywood ever realise what it missed?????
