Project to count Scots red heads.

WTF? Somebody will get paid for this too. I wonder if they'll count brown-haired people next...BBC Scotland

I could think of better things for them to research

When the start the search for natural female blonds, get me a clip board...

I am naturally dark, Jim is dark but we have a daughter with beautiful red hair. The other is a blonde as you can see - disclaimer - photo not recent



I believe a high proportion of red-heads are either left handed or ambidextrous.

Is that 20 Woodbine you're holding Gypsy?

I think in those days it was B&H

Peugeot 504, not a bad car in them days, Better than a Corsair or Cortina,

love the photo's that jacket is snazzy

I wonder if the proportion of red heads is higher in Highland clans? That would be the Irish connection. Just looked up, 46% of us over here carry the recessive red hair gene.
