The
Ultimate Sean Connery Page
Oh no it isn't! News, short biography and a look at two books about
SC, a list of his films, pictures and TV listings of his films (for
US residents). The only unusual thing - a series of real audio files
of interviews - is actually off-site. Defnitely not the ultimate!
Not even in the running.

the city. A very useful site.

Considering the importance of the FST as an organisation, there is
surprisingly little on this site - that is, apart from the Members'

for young people and offers and competitions. There's also a search
option which allows you to look for productions and performances throughout
Sotland.
