Kenny Boyle, known as @kennyboyleofficial on TikTok, has been named Scotland's most influential TikToker of 2025 by PR agency Spey. The actor, novelist and playwright from the Isle of Lewis boasts an engagement rate of 24.77% among his 139,600 followers, the highest of any Scottish creator on the platform.
Boyle's content focuses on Scottish culture, language and folklore, with his most popular video—exploring the mythical Fachan creature—garnering over 3.3 million views and 269,000 likes. He said: 'I love Scotland, and I love sharing stories about Scotland's culture, language, and incredibly rich and totally fascinating folklore and mythology. It's a true honour sharing these stories with the world.'
The top five also included lifestyle creator Eddie Fade Walker (second, 19.47% engagement), fashion influencer Zara McIntosh (third, 16.24%), singer-songwriter Calum Bowie and cosplayer Millie Graham. Last year's winner, author Bryan Millar Walker, dropped to eighth place.
Nathalie Agnew, managing director of Muckle Media Group, which owns Spey, said the annual ranking 'has become an activity we look forward to every year'. She added: 'How fitting that this year we crown a creator whose content is focused on showcasing the best of Scottish culture.' The rankings were compiled in collaboration with influencer marketing platform Modash.
