From Biffy to Big Country Runrig to Eurythmics, Scotland has produced some of the world's best bands, artists and lyricists for decades.
However, narrowing it down to a top 25 is more difficult than you can imagine, so we decided to ask our readers at The Scotsman who they would vote as their number one Scottish band of all time...
Here's are the best 25 bands from Scotland ever.
