William "Willie" MacDougal, is a recurring character on The Simpsons, voiced by Dan Castellaneta. He is head groundskeeper at Springfield Elementary School. Willie is almost feral in nature and is immensely proud of his native Scotland. He is easily identifiable by his flaming red hair and beard, as well as his aggressive temperament and thick though inaccurate Scottish accent.
Groundskeeper Willie (who was once originally called "Groundskeeper Louie") is the groundskeeper at Springfield Elementary School and lives in squalor in a shack on the school grounds. He is a Scotsman with an aggressive temper. He is an uncouth and unpleasant, though essentially harmless, character. His personality is depicted as being incompetent, quick to anger for little or no reason, slow-witted, and a heavy drinker. Willie has shown antipathy to both his employer, Principal Skinner, and Bart Simpson, who plays pranks on him.
Due to the deliberately inaccurate continuity of the series, he has claimed to be from various parts of Scotland during the series, most recently Kirkwall in the Orkney Islands in the 2012 episode 'The Daughter Also Rises'. This settled the previous continuity problem in which Willie had been stated to be a fan of Aberdeen Football Club, and to have been a resident in Glasgow. In early episodes Willie's father was said to be deceased. However, his parents were later introduced in "Monty Can't Buy Me Love", and lived near Loch Ness. In "The Girl Who Slept Too Little", it is revealed that he has a cousin, 'Grave Digger Billy'.
