Old Photograph Candacraig House Scotland
Old photograph of Candacraig house in Strathdon, Aberdeenshire, Scotland. This house was owned from 1998 until 2013 by Billy Connolly and his wife Pamela Stephenson. William " Billy " Connolly, CBE was born on 24 November 1942 at 69 Dover Street, in Anderston, Glasgow. He is a Scottish comedian, musician, presenter and actor. He is sometimes known, especially in his native Scotland, by the nickname " The Big Yin ", meaning The Big One. His first trade, in the early 1960s, was as a welder, specifically a boilermaker, in the Glasgow shipyards, but he gave it up towards the end of the decade to pursue a career as a folk singer, firstly in the Humblebums alongside friend Gerry Rafferty until 1971, and subsequently as a solo artist. In the early 1970s, he made the transition from folk singer with a comedic persona to fully fledged comedian. Best known to many as a stand-up comedian, he appears in several lists of the greatest comedians ever, where he is often placed at the top.
