Both Valid points, his drinking and womanising is as admirable and as part of the mans legacy as his poetry and music.
As for the Greatest Scot ever lived, its on that link that he just piped William Wallace to the top spot but its a tough competition.

We really contributed alot to the Modern world yet we are never given the credit.
Here is a good list of our achievements for anyone who is interested -
