SCOTS film star Dougray Scott, tipped to be the next James Bond, is being lined up for an appearance in Edinburgh’s Southside.

Lothians Scottish Socialist MSP Colin Fox is hoping the Fife-born actor will agree to perform the official opening of his new constituency office.

Scott, 38, who appeared in Mission Impossible 2 and Enigma, joined the Scottish Socialist Party last year. And Mr Fox, list MSP for the Lothians, said he was inviting him to perform the official opening at the shop-front office at 52 Clerk Street, which is already operating 9am to 5pm every weekday.

"I’ll try to get him to come along the next time he’s up watching his beloved Hibs," said Mr Fox.
