Billy Connolly and Pam StephensonBilly Connolly and Pamela Stephenson are to sell their house in Los Angeles and return to live permanently in Scotland, she has announced.

Connolly, the swear-word prone stand-up, is said to have fallen in love with the village of Strathdon during the filming of Mrs Brown with Judi Dench, and bought the local mansion Candacraig House from Body Shop founder Anita Roddick.

Billy himself was born in Glasgow, but is now the Laird of teh annual Lonach Gathering which takes place near to Candacraig. Past guests to that have included Steve Martin, Ewan McGregor, Sir Sean Connery and Dame Judi Dench.

Pamela Stephenson, a previous comedy performer in her own right in the early 80's, has said that they hope to make Candacraig House their full time home.

We say, welcome back Billy. Please go on tour again so we can hear you swearing - there's nothing quite like it.
