Scots can buy Lewis Capaldi, Irn-Bru and Still Games face masks

You can now buy Scottish-themed face masks featuring Irn-bru, Still Game or Lewis Capaldi.

With coverings now mandatory in shops and on public transport, Scots can show off their favourite singer, TV show or even the country's 'other' national drink during the pandemic.

The masks are being sold online alongside a host of other famous Scottish characters - including Limmy or Renton from Trainspotting.

First Minister Nicola Sturgeon announced last month that Scots would have to wear masks in certain public places to stop the spread of coronavirus.

Sellers have now flocked to make face masks to show off every aspect of Scotland's culture, with everything from the Saltire flag and thistles to Nessie and Highland cows.

You can even buy famous landmarks, including the Forth Road Bridge, Greyfriars Bobby or Glasgow's traffic cone statue.

If you are feeling particularly patriotic, you can gain inspiration from Nicola Sturgeon's tartan face mask with a whole host of colours, clans and patterns to choose from.

Lewis Capaldi fans can even go that one step further to show off their love for the Scots singer by wearing a mask featuring his iconic sunglasses selfies.

There's even masks with Scottish sayings such as "Haud yer wheest" and "Pure scunnered wi coronavirus".

Music fans can also get their hands on masks to show off their favourite Scottish artists, including Biffy Clyro, Frightened Rabbit, KT Tunstall, Franz Ferdinand and the Bay City Rollers.

The masks have all been created by Scotland-based graphic artists and are being sold for around £10 on Red Bubble.

While the images look great, the website is quick to point out they won't protect you from coronavirus in a medical setting.

These face coverings would be fine for wearing to the shops or on public transport, where they are currently mandatory.

The Red Bubble website explains: "Masks are not designed or intended to prevent, mitigate, treat, diagnose or cure any disease or health condition, including COVID-19/Coronavirus.

“Masks are intended for general public use only."
