Scotland has long been at the heart of the video games industry, from early exports such as Lemmings and RollerCoaster Tycoon all the through to more recent titles such as Viewfinder.
Grand Theft Auto - one of the most iconic video game series of all time - was born in Dundee, with the latest addition to the franchise expected to break records when it is released later this year.
Beyond Rockstar’s AAA successes or fondly-remembered favourites from the past, there are also a number of independent developers producing impressive games around Scotland with upcoming titles including MindsEye and Silent Hill: Townfall.
Ahead of their arrival, however, here we take a look at some of the best games to have been made in Scotland.
