Scottie McClue is one of the most popular and richest Radio Personality who was born on June 20, 1956 in Greenock, Scotland, United Kingdom. He began his career as a student manager for the Clydesdale Bank before joining Scottish Opera in 1980 . He worked in various roles like Touring Manager Marketing Officer, Director of Education Programs. In 1981, he was appointed the Assistant General Manager of the Pitlochry Festival Theatre.

A live-streamed video, “An Audience With Scottie McClue” was released in 1996. In collaboration in conjunction with Century 105 in Salford in 1999, he also put out A CD titled”The Best Of” Scottie McClue.

In 2001 Scottie returned to Scotland on Q96 with his shows being simulcast and networked across the UK. 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 McAuley on BBC Radio Scotland.

Scottie McClue had, as analyst Mary Talbot observes, achieved “a degree of infamy as a highly confrontational talk radio host”. Scottie joined Q96 in 2005 before moving to its UTV sister station Talk 107, the 24-hour talk radio station based in Edinburgh, in 2006. He presented his last show for Talk 107 in March 2008 and was replaced with a simulcast of The James Whale Show from London on sister station Talk Sport, which after a few weeks was in turn replaced by another show. In July 2008 Scottie McClue participated in a special edition of BBC Radio’s Fighting Talk at the Radio Academy’s Radio Festival in Glasgow. In his introduction, presenter Colin Murray described McClue as “A Scottish broadcasting legend, he claims to have the world record for calls into his phone-in show, I think it was 460,000 in one week, he’s been fired or has resigned on the odd occasion from virtually every station in Scotland and the North of England, and how he hasn’t developed a show yet for BBC Radio Scotland called “I’m Sorry I Haven’t A McClue” I have no idea.”

In 1994, Scottie McClue moved to Scot FM in Edinburgh and introduced an additional late-night phone in. The show received enough calls to prompt BT to restrict how many calls can be made to the number. The show was subject to the wrath of radio watchdogs three times regarding his views on homosexuals and females as well as his use of the language. In January 1997, Scottie was dismissed from the station after talks over an agreement to renew the contract failed and he moved into Hallam FM in Sheffield and by April 1998, his show had been broadcast throughout TFM in Middlesbrough as well as all Magic stations operated by EMAP in Liverpool, Yorkshire and North East England.
