The final ice gritter of the year has been named after Billy Connolly

If there's one area where Scotland truly shines, it's in the naming of our ice gritters in winter.

We don't mean to be dramatic, but the minds that have created the likes of Gritter Thunberg, David Plowie, Gritty Gritty Bang Bang and Plougher O'Scotland are nothing short of geniuses.

With so many international icons receiving the honour of having a gritter named after them, it was really only a matter of time until Billy Connolly was recognised.

Scotland TranServ took to Twitter to announce that the last of their gritters for this year has been named Chilly Connolly.

We're sure you'll agree - he suits his named perfectly!

We hope Billy is pleased to have made it to the gritter hall of fame!
