"His voice in the lifts is a fun idea. It might just happen. Who knows? Never say never..." - parliamentary spokesman

Scotland's most famous voice, Sean Connery, could soon be calling out the floors in the lifts of the country's new parliament building.

Using the actor's distinctive drawl in the building's elevators was just one idea arising from the actor's visit to the site last month.

"Since Sir Sean visited, there have been talks outlining one or two ideas for his future involvement in the building," a parliamentary spokesman said.

"His voice in the lifts is a fun idea. It might just happen," he added. "Who knows? Never say never..."

The Holyrood palace site for Scotland's parliament has cost a budget-busting £375 million so far. It is due to open in Edinburgh next year.

Connery, who lives in the Bahamas, was so eager to see his native Scotland gain independence that he bankrolled the Scottish National Party for six years.

The 72-year-old actor said earlier this year that he donated about £5,000 a month to the party.
