Paul McLean co owner of MCLEANSCOTLAND. These are questions I have so often been asked;

What was my first tour? for friends from USA.

Do you like what you do? aye! Who is your hero? My Dad (sadly departed).

What keeps you going? well many things really, its my job and only income, I have to make a living somehow so may as well do something I love doing. The love of the job keeps me going, showing people my country and not least; Liz keeps me going! A slave driver so she is!!!

What is your favourite part of Scotland? aye a hard one as its all brilliant. I would say definitely the west coast.

Who or what is your "big thing in life"? er, that's a hard one to admit to. I would say two - a person and my country! Say no more. 

You have tattoo's that we have seen, what are they? right arm; clan crest and Liverpool & Celtic, referring to my two football teams and my clan. Left arm, a Scottish thistle and Dalriada, and "sons of Kilkenny" for my mum.

Yes that's another question - what is your accent? another hard one, half Irish, half Scottish and half Scouse, work that one out!

We see you in a pipe band, what do you play? nothing, they won't let me near any pipes or drums! They made me the band manager because I have got them some gigs and take care of the coaches, ferries and any hotels we need.

What do you keep as sacred? My special friends, my country, my Dad

Where are your family? Mum and Stuart are in Liverpool, Scott is in Wirral. In laws and outlaws are all over the place, mainly Ireland. My Dad is drinking whisky on a cloud with others (the angels share). He fought in WWII in Burma, he was a special forces Chindit. He survived the war only to be killed at work in Liverpool in an explosion. He was a superb carpenter My Dad. Dad was a McLean, Mum is a Daley.
