With Christmas already beginning to feel a little disrupted this year due to the arrival of Omicron, it's more than likely we might be doing some virtual quizzes over the Christmas period.
Should you want a fun Scottish nostalgia quiz to test your friends and family we might have the answer - of course, if you just want to test yourself that's fine too!
We've created three separate rounds, with anyone able to enjoy the Easy and Medium rounds, while those who like a challenge can push themselves with the Hard round.
Give yourself 1 point for any question you get right in the Easy round, 2 points for the Medium and 3 points for the Hard - giving you a total of 60 points to play for.
The answers to each question are posted immediately below, so no peeking. Good luck and feel free to share your score in the comments!
