Probably the two best candidates for that title would be:

Robert (Rabbie) Burns (1759- 1796), a world-famous and beloved Scottish poet known as "The Bard". Fans worldwide celebrate the anniversary of his birth with "Burns Dinners" on or around January 25th. I hope you did not miss out on the festivities surrounding his 252nd birthday this year, 2011. He is without a doubt Scotland's most famous poet.

The other would be Sir William Wallace (circa 1272 - August 23rd of 1305), also a poet (!) and Guardian of the Realm as brought to life again in "Braveheart" as the topic of Mel Gibson's epic movie of that title.

He led people to fight for Scottish independence in the 13th century.

I say that Robert Burns is good but he's joint 1st place with David Tennant.

(Second opinion-er says) That's not even his REAL NAME! -besides, he's only forty years old!

You're BOTH wrong! -It HAS TO BE Sean Connery! AKA Bond. James Bond. He actually has been polled as "The Greatest Living Scot", and was knighted in July 2000, after having been voted "Sexiest Man of the Century"!

I had never even heard of Sir Willaim Wallace before "Braveheart" came out- and EVERY SCOT I'VE ASKED- and has seen it- bar none- has said that it was so far removed from TRUE history that it should be classified as a fantasy!
