TALLINN, Estonia — He's been honored with an Oscar and British knighthood. Sean Connery can now count a bronze sculpture in Estonia's capital among his tributes.

The bust of Scotland's most famous actor was unveiled Thursday by British Ambassador Peter Carter outside Tallinn's Scottish Club, whose members include Estonians enamored with Scotland and a handful of expatriate Scots.

The president of the Scottish Club, which started as a whiskey sampling society in the early 1990s, says it got the idea of honoring "Scots who have made a difference" a few years back. It already has a bust of 18th century Scottish poet Robert Burns.
