'''Scotty''' was the affectionate nickname given to the chief engineering in the TV series [[Star Trek]]. Going with the theme of diversity that [[Gene Roddenberry]] chose for his cast, Scotty was a Scotsman and spoke with a Scottish accent. Not one of the main three characters, there wasn't as much character development for the role of Scotty and most of his interactions were semi-whiny statements that the engines were going to explode or the engines can't take much more of this. A common line attributed to the series is "Beam me up Scotty" which prompted a series of bumper stickers for cars. "Beam me up Scotty -- There's no intelligent life down here!"

The part of Scotty was played by the late James Doohan. He was known for holding in his stomach a lot when the camera was on him. In something that may be a bit of a surprise for watchers of the show, Doohan did not have a Scottish accent in real life.
