It's in Fleming's 'You Only Live Twice' that it's revealed Bond attended Fettes in Edinburgh after being expelled from Eton following an, er, incident with a chamber maid. Originally, Fleming molded Bond on an idealised version of himself, but by this time Fleming was writing Bond as Connery, so that explains the Edinburgh burr then (obviously).
So many films, so little time...

Louis Mazzini: I shot an arrow in the air; she fell to earth in Berkeley Square...
Connery played it as an Englishman anyway "For England" etc - one week he's a Rangers fan & the next he's a Celtic fan - he's a supporter of the SNP & gives them bungs, but lives in Spain ..I'm NOT Connery's biggest fan BTW
Some Mike Leigh thing in tomorrow's Guardian apparently.
