Colin Lamont (born 20 June 1956),[1] better known by his shock jock on-air radio persona of Scottie McClue, is a broadcaster and former newscaster.

[4] In 1992 he moved to Red Rose Gold in Preston to become a senior producer and presenter for the station, creating the on-air persona Scottie McClue.

In August 2008, he became a shareholder of the Scottish independent local radio station L107 saving it from imminent closure as the former owner, Mark Page, was on the brink of returning the licence to Ofcom.

[5] Businessman Alan Shields acquired the station from Page, hiring Lamont as a presenter under his Scottie McClue persona.

He was fined by the Radio Authority on three occasions for breaching the 1990 Broadcasting Act on taste and decency, in comments made about single mothers and gay people.

[citation needed] He then returned to EMAP's Magic stations in Sheffield, Liverpool, Leeds and Hull also broadcasting for SRH on Clyde 2 Glasgow on Saturday evenings and Forth 2 Edinburgh on Sunday mornings and also a stint co-hosting with Lesley Riddoch sitting in for Fred MacAulay on BBC Radio Scotland.

McClue had, as analyst Mary Talbot observes, achieved "a degree of infamy as a highly confrontational talk radio host".
