The former James Bond star, a high-profile Scottish nationalist, launched “Being a Scot” on August 25th, his 78th birthday. Connery is a vocal supporter of the pro-independence Scottish National Party. He lives in the Bahamas and has said he will not reside in Scotland until it gains independence from the United Kingdom.


In a six-decade career, the former Edinburgh milkman also starred in “Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade,” “The Hunt for Red October” and “The Untouchables,” which earned him an Academy Award for best supporting actor.

“This book has gone through more permutations than James Bond has had shaken not stirred martinis _ different co-writers, different publishers,” festival director Catherine Lockerbie said.

She said the memoir, written with Scottish filmmaker Murray Grigor, would share Connery’s views on “many aspects of Scottish culture and life, including sport, architecture and, of course, the gothic tendency in Scots literature.”

There are a number of books about Sean Connery available at Amazon.com.

Here’s a cute commercial with Mr. Connery reminding a younger self to enjoy Dewars 12 whiskey now. We’ll understand when we’re older. ;)

Just remember… Some age… Others mature.
