Okay-
David Mitchell- (the author). Would be really good on cultural belonging, grew up in Japan and writes a lot about social belonging and identity in his books. Lives in Ireland unfortunately, but I will fall in love with you forever if you can bring him here.
Chris Hoy- probably impossible. Has already written about being bogged down by these kinds of events, but he did go to St Andrews. Again- he could just talk about anything, determination, inspiring children to take up sport, what it means to represent Scotland or Great Britain.
Mark Beaumont- another cycling guy, smashed the cycling round the world record, comes from Fife.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/scotland/edi ... 245381.stmMichael Palin- wealth of knowledge from round the world travels, meeting other cultures etc. Would be guaranteed to entertain you for more than seven minutes.
Jonathan Agnew- commentator for Test Match Special, knows the ins and outs of the politics of cricket, apartheid SA boycotts, tours of Sri Lanka and the Tamil Tigers, the recent bombings in Mumbai. Could give you some good stuff on politics and sport.
I provide wittitainments.
