James Blunt claimed he recorded a Scottish version of one of his classic songs after showing it off online, but fans knew better.

The You're Beautiful hitmaker, who often goes viral with his witty comments online, took to Twitter with the apparent Scottish project.

He shared a recording of his song Bonfire Heart from his album in 2013 called Moon Landing.After writing "Here’s me singing with a Scottish accent", a clearly Scottish voice sang the lyrics to his sing which originally debuted at number six and climbed to number four in the UK Singles Chart.Fans loved it with one joking: "Love this song and it goes so well with this advert! (As a Scot, I think you accent is impeccable)."Another laughed: "Well, I guess if you really wanted to upset people, could take up playing the bagpipes."But one was quick to point out it wasn't actually James singing,It turned out to be Cameron Barnes who actually covered James' song.His tongue-in-cheek reply read: "You nailed it mate buzzing you’ve retweeted this and glad you like it.

Loved singing it. Great song."The song was used for a Visit Scotland advert encouraging people to come to Scotland.It prompted one fan to joke: "Why didn’t they use the Proclaimers??"And the reply: "Cos they walked 500 miles from Leith to Cornwall, they now speak with a Cornish accent."
