Tartan Army Invades London

Scotland the brave was the theme at last night's opening of The Tartan Army exhibition at London's National Portrait Gallery. The collection, sponsored by Empire, is the brainchild of photographer Donald MacLellan and features smouldering portraits from the cream of Scottish cinematic talent. And a number of those talents turned up last night to celebrate the exhibition's opening, including MI:2 star Dougray Scott, Gregorys Girl star John Gordon Sinclair and Gail Porter. Dougray, who had just finished filming Enigma the day before, told Empire Online that he loved filming in the UK, 'the film crews are the best - they like me!' But the lure of a British summer held no sway for the actor, who was heading off shortly to Spain for a well-earned break. 'I'll do another film at the end of August, but I haven't decided which one yet, ' he told us. The Tartan Army exhibition can be seen at the National Portrait Gallery until the 1 October 2000. Entrance to the gallery and exhibition is free.
