Thinking about the driving greats like Jim Clark and Jackie Stewart, Colin McRae was pretty good too.

I he was but Jock Taylor the sidecar racer was on a different level imho. He would have been the greatest ever rider had he not made that fatal call as the riders union rep that they were going to have to race the final round of the world championships on a waterlogged public road circuit in Finland. Hopefully one day a film maker will get to tell his life story on the big screen

A tie at top between Murray & Hoy

Worth a mention - 

Sandy Lyle - 2 majors

Sam Torrance - lots of tournament wins and his team efforts with Ryder Cup

Colin McRae - Best Scottish driver of any type ever

Dennis Law - Ballon D'or and amazing scoring record

Stephen Hendry - totally dominant in his sport

Fergie - worth a mention as greatest sports manager if not sportsman

Allan Wells worth a mention as remember watching his Olympic win when I was about 10.

As teams some of the curling teams have done Scotland proud but not sure of individuals
