Lets get right behind Andy Murray this Friday...straight to the final.

An award-winning north-east chef has been hand-picked to cook for an array of stars – including former James Bond actor Sir Sean Connery – at a glittering ceremony in Bute House, Edinburgh, this week.

Craig Wilson, who runs Eat on the Green at Udny, near Ellon, was selected for the top job by one of his regulars, First Minister Alex Salmond.

The reception and dinner, which takes place tomorrow, is the SNP leader’s annual bash to mark the Edinburgh International Film Festival, which began last week.

As well as the former 007 star, this year’s function at the first minister’s official residence will feature actor Alan Cumming, Lord of the Rings star Billy Boyd and actress Elaine C. Smith.

Mr Salmond said he was keen to give his guests a taste of Aberdeenshire.

He added: “I really wanted to use a chef from the north-east of Scotland. I’ve been coming to Eat on the Green for a while now and what Craig does is exactly what I was looking for. He is a fantastic chef and he really knows how to use locally grown ingredients. I know his food is going to go down a storm.”

Mr Wilson, 37, opened Eat on the Green just over five years ago, starting the business from scratch.

Since then, he has picked up an array of awards, including the Scottish Chefs Award for Gastro Pub of the Year in 2007.

“This is a great honour for me,” he said. “I’ve obviously been thinking a lot about the menu, but the plan is to just do what we normally do in the restaurant. I’m sure it will go down well.

“This couldn’t come at a better time of year, because we’ve got the best ingredients on our doorstep. It will be a great way to show off the best the north-east has to offer.”

Insch-born Mr Wilson, a chef for more than 15 years, was a finalist on TV cookery challenge Pot Idol, hosted by Lorraine Kelly. His appearance earned him the nickname the Kilted Chef.

It is not known where their journey will take them, but a source said they will experience the blazing sun of the desert and travel across ice and snow-covered terrain.

Stars on the show will also be expected to try canyon swinging, a zero-gravity flight, spending the night in a snow hole and playing polo ... on camels.

As well as his parents, Jack has got Desperate Housewives heart-throb Jesse Metcalfe and Gavin and Stacey’s Joanna Page on board.

Former Neighbours beauty Natalie Imbruglia, Radio 1 DJ Reggie Yates, ex Blue Peter presenter Konnie Huq and Lord of the Rings actor Billy Boyd have also signed up. They will travel to far-flung parts of the globe for the programme, including New Zealand and Dubai.

Finally, there's a real proof that Billy does play in this film! Look, what I have:

It's a beauty, isn't it? Billy playing with Justin Bartha, that's just great! Anyway, if you are interested in other non-Billy pics from the movie here they are.

Everything should be okay, but if you come across something that doesn't seem to be right, let me know. It was kinda hard work for me, as I'm not very familiar with complicated web stuff, and the date style is probably the top of my abbilities . But I hope I'm getting better and the layouts start to look "professionally". I'm doing it just for you . And our wee Scot, of course.
