The American actor was previously spotted in a Scots city earlier this week ANCHOR-FANS Will Ferrell stuns staff on visit to iconic Scots tourist attraction as they brand him the 'nicest man' HOLLYWOOD legend Will Ferrell has been branded the "nicest man" after he stunned staff at a famous Scottish tourist attraction. The American actor, best known for films like Anchorman and Elf, was on a tour around Braemar Castle in Aberdeenshire today with his family and friends. 2 Will Ferrell visited Braemar Castle along with family and friends Credit: Facebook/Braemar Castle The 58-year-old was all smiles as he happily posed for pictures with staff during the visit. And the star left a good impression on employees, who said he was a "true gentleman". The snaps were posted on Braemar Castle's Facebook page. The caption read: "Can we just get a little bit excited. "The fabulous Will Ferrell paid us a visit this morning and we may have got a little bit fan girly around him. "He is the nicest man, as are his family and friends. "Eve had the best time giving them a tour of the castle. "They say to never meet your idols, but this man was a true gentleman and so interested in our work at Braemar Castle." Earlier this week, we told how Will Ferrell shocked onlookers after visiting Glasgow. He surprised movie fans when he got out a taxi with his wife in the city's Miller Street on Monday. Tom Holland shares sweet video of his time filming Spiderman in Glasgow One eagle-eyed fan - who didn't want to be pictured - shared a selfie with the Scottish Sun showing his dream meeting with the movie maestro. He said: "You don't expect to see Will Ferrell getting out a taxi in the middle of Glasgow. "He looked really relaxed with his wife and it's cool to know that such huge celebrities are choosing to come to Scotland." The actor simply told fans he was visiting Glasgow rather than suggesting he was working on any projects.

Scots schoolgirl named on Time magazine first Girls of the Year list
A Scottish schoolgirl has been named in Time magazine's first-ever Girls of the Year list after designing a solar-powered blanket for homeless people. Rebecca Young, from Glasgow, was aged just 11 when she came up with the idea after becoming concerned about people sleeping on the streets during a freezing Scottish winter. Now 12, she has been named alongside nine other girls from around the world all recognised as being young leaders inspiring communities, as part of a list aimed at celebrating and empowering girls. The Kelvinside Academy pupil described it as 'cool and very unexpected' to be among those named, adding: 'I'm honoured by the fact they wanted to include me on their Girls of the Year list and hope other kids see it and decide to do their part in helping people.' Supplied Rebecca has been turned into a LEGO mini-figure In January, Rebecca triumphed over 70,000 entrants to take home the MacRobert Commendation Medal in the UK Primary Engineer competition. Her design has resulted in 30 of the blankets being manufactured and distributed to a homeless shelter in Glasgow, with plans to make more. She and eight of the other girls are featured as part of a limited-edition animated Time cover – reimagined as Lego minifigures, with each character aimed at capturing the spirit of their achievements. 'I was stunned when I found out. I can't believe I am one of the first Time Girls of the Year. It's simply incredible', she said. 'To be named alongside nine other girls who have achieved so much is one of the most special experiences of my life. 'In my wildest dreams I'd never imagined being in this position when I came up with the design. I'm most proud of how the idea is now helping homeless people in real life – which was my inspiration all along – and I hope this can help shine a brighter light on an issue we should all care deeply about.' Time chief executive Jessica Sibley said the list features girls aged between 12 and 17 who are 'shaping their communities with courage and purpose'. The collaboration followed a recent study by the Lego group of more than 32,000 parents and children across 21 countries which found 70% of young women struggle to see themselves as someone who is good at building things. It also found that children were twice as likely to credit major inventions to men – with most believing that wifi (69%) and the Moon landing software (68%) were invented by men, even though they were pioneered by women. Rebecca's mum Louise, 49, said the whole family was 'over the moon' with her daughter's achievement. 'The attention Rebecca has received since she won the Primary Engineer prize is unbelievable, and we're all so proud of her,' she said. 'She was just 11 when she designed the blanket, and already she's decided she wants to follow a different path – and we couldn't be more supportive. 'Even at just 12, she's already made such an impact, and we know she can do the same in whatever she goes on to achieve. The most important thing is she's happy – and following her passions is how she'll achieve that.

Scots schoolgirl's invention to help homeless lands spot on Time magazine 'Girls of the Year' list
A Scottish schoolgirl has been featured in Time magazine's first-ever Girls of the Year list after designing a solar-powered blanket designed to help the homeless. Back in January, Rebecca Young triumphed over 70,000 entrants to take home the MacRobert Commendation Medal in the UK Primary Engineer competition, following a public vote. Tasked with producing a design to address a social issue, the Kelvinside Academy S2 said she thought of the invention – a heated blanket integrated into a backpack and powered by solar panels – after witnessing people sleeping rough on the streets in Glasgow. Her innovation has now been recognised on a global scale, as she is now among ten girls from across the world selected by Time who have inspired and helped communities. She said that she was stunned by the recognition, which has also seen her turned into a LEGO mini-figure, as the awards are being run in partnership with the toy manufacturer. Supplied Rebecca has been turned into a LEGO mini-figure 'I was stunned when I found out. I can't believe I am one of the first Time Girls of the Year. It's simply incredible', she said. 'To be named alongside nine other girls who have achieved so much is one of the most special experiences of my life. 'In my wildest dreams I'd never imagined being in this position when I came up with the design. I'm most proud of how the idea is now helping homeless people in real life – which was my inspiration all along – and I hope this can help shine a brighter light on an issue we should all care deeply about.' Rebecca's mum Louise, 49, who runs an MOT centre in Hillington, Glasgow, with her husband James, said the whole family was 'over the moon' with her daughter's achievement. She said: 'The attention Rebecca has received since she won the Primary Engineer prize is unbelievable, and we're all so proud of her. She was just 11 when she designed the blanket, and already she's decided she wants to follow a different path – and we couldn't be more supportive. 'Even at just 13, she's already made such an impact, and we know she can do the same in whatever she goes on to achieve. The most important thing is she's happy – and following her passions is how she'll achieve that. ' Daniel Wyatt, rector at Kelvinside Academy, described the Time honour as 'a huge global achievement' not just for Rebecca, but for her school and Scotland as a whole. He said: 'She has done everybody proud. Rebecca is a shining example of how a caring young person can see a problem in the world and do something about it. To see her invention brought to life and helping people in the real world is something very special indeed. 'She is also a role model for any young person who wants to follow their own path in life. It'd be very easy to be pigeonholed as a budding engineer, but she also has other talents she wants to pursue. That's what Kelvinside is all about – providing opportunities and allowing our young people to carve out their own journey. Well done Rebecca, you have done yourself, your family and Kelvinside proud.' 'At Time, we've long believed that leadership has no age requirement. This belief is reflected in the inspiring young women named to our first-ever Time Girls of the Year list, who are shaping their communities with courage and purpose,' said Time CEO Jessica Sibley. 'Thanks to our partnership with the LEGO Group, we are proud to spotlight those who are turning imagination into real-world impact.'
