There is no doubting, Scotland is one the proudest but funniest countries on the planet, so perhaps it is no surprise that we have produced some of the world's finest funny men.
However, narrowing it down to a top 10 has proved more difficult than many would imagine. Sure we all have a favourite - but who would make your top 10 list? After discussing it in the office, we decided there was only one way to found our definitive list - ask our readers!
We took to our official Facebook page to ask our readers at The Scotsman who they would vote as their number one Scottish stand up comic of all time...
1. Sir Billy Connolly
Okay - so this one is no surprise. Sir Billy, the Big Yin, was comfortably our number one as deservedly so. | Spirit of Glasgow Award
2. Chic Murray
A trailblazer for modern Scottish comedy Charles “Chic” Murray was famed for his wicked one-liners and his distinctive look. Murray sadly passed in 1985 but is remembered fondly by many. | TSPL Photo: TSPL
3. Kevin Bridges
One of the most popular stand up comedians around, Glasgow born Bridges worked the club circuit all the way up to countless sold out arena shows. Observationally hilarious, Bridges have perfect deliver and is as fresh as the day he first hit the stage. | Contributed Photo: Photo: Third Party
4. Hector Nicol
Paisley born Hector Nicol was another comedian we sadly lost in the mid-1980s but remains fondly remembered by many, including our readers. He was a key influence to many Scottish comedy acts over the years. | YouTube
