3. James Bond wasn't Scottish until Sean Connery played the role.

詹姆斯·邦德不是苏格兰人直到肖恩·康纳利出演了这个角色。

Ian Fleming was initially apprehensive about Sean Connery's casting, as Connery didn't fit the character he had in mind. "He's not what I envisioned of James Bond looks," he said "I'm looking for Commander Bond and not an overgrown stunt man."

伊恩•弗莱明起先为肖恩·康纳利出演这个角色感到不安，因为在他脑中，康纳利不适合这个角色。“他不是我期望的詹姆斯·邦德的样子，”他说“我要的是一个指挥官邦德，而不是杂草丛生里的特技替身演员。”

However, after seeing Connery in "Dr. No" and thinking the actor did a superb job, Fleming wrote Connery's heritage into the character. In the book You Only Live Twice, Fleming wrote that James Bond's father was Scottish and was from the town of Glencoe. Coincidentally, Connery would film "Highlander" in Glencoe decades later.

然而，在看到康纳利在《007：诺博士》中的表现，他认为这位演员表现得很出色，弗莱明把康纳利的一些传统写到了角色里去。在《007：雷霆谷》一书中，弗莱明写道詹姆斯·邦德的父亲是苏格兰人，而他来自格兰克镇。无独有偶，十几年后，康纳利在格兰克的高地进行了拍摄。
