Hi Alistair and welcome to PC...
Take a moment to look through this website...there are so many great and famous redheads that they must be catagorized...You are among great company sir...

Also your name has a Greek origin and Scotish heritage of Kings and leaders,,but has a root meaning of being a "protector of men"...
It would serve you well if you could find a way to change the nature of how you see yourself...put that in your posture and demeanor and walk on...
You possess everything you need to live up to your potential and beyond...think that way and the people around you will too...
IMHO.
