Gerard Butler has been voted Scot of the Year 2009 in the annual poll conducted by ScotsCare, a London based charity for first and second generation Scots in need of help.

Taking 66% of the vote, the Paisley-born Butler proved more popular than second-place winner Susan Boyle who only brought in 26% of the votes having made her mark in the British talent competition, Britain’s Got Talent.

Butler has made his mark on Hollywood in films such as 300, The Ugly Truth and Law Abiding Citizen.

In a press release, ScotsCare Chief Executive Willie Docherty said, “Gerard has certainly proved a popular winner amongst the females in our office. We had a great list of contenders that would do any country proud. Burn’s day is a very fitting time to celebrate the great people associated with Scotland.”
