Kofi Annan praises Scotland's potential

Kofi Annan said Scotland had "great potential" for the future

Scotland can play a leading role in ending poverty and tackling climate change, according to former United Nations Secretary General Kofi Annan.

He said Scotland was "a country with a great history in science, technology, research, economics and in business".

Too right Bother Annan! You're even named after a place in Scotland. Perhaps one of your ancestors got shagged by a Scotsman and the name stuck in the family?
