The new lyrics were written by Moray mum Lesley Mair - who grew up in Edinburgh - and poke fun at the country’s struggles with the recent weather.

Along with Judy Murray - mother of Scottish tennis stars Andy and Jamie - retweeting a picture of the ‘new’ anthem, it has also been shared 493 times from Lesley’s Facebook page at the time of writing.

The lyrics are...

No flour in Scotland!

When will we see

Sliced breid again?

No Mother’s Pride for

Your wee bit piece and jam

No cheesey toasties

(fur who?)

Wur tartan army

Just pictures of empty shelves

Aye, blink again!

Those days are past now

But icy blast, it may remain

But we might still drive (how?)

Tae get tae Asda again

And stand in queues there

(Whit for?)

Wur milk, breid an whisky,

And carry them homewards

Tae drink again...
