Sir Harry Lauder (Aug 1870 – Feb 1950) was a Scottish singer, comedian and actor. Popular in both music hall and vaudeville theatre traditions; he achieved international success. He was described by Sir Winston Churchill as "Scotland's greatest ever ambassador", who "by his inspiring songs and valiant life, rendered measureless service to the Scottish race and to the British Empire". He became a familiar worldwide figure deploying his kilt and cromach (walking stick) as icons of Scottishness to huge acclaim, especially in America.
