Be it the legendary Bon Scott of AC/DC in the 1970s, the unique Annie Lennox is the 1980s or the loveable Lewis Capaldi in the present day, Scotland have always had a prominent voice at the top of charts for decades.
However, if we had to pin it down to a top 25 of all time, then the difficulty in choosing can be a little overwhelming so we decided to ask our readership at The Scotsman who they pinpoint as the best Scottish singer of all time.
Here's who they picked as Scotland's best ever singers (with some notable omissions!)
21. Simon Neil (Biffy Clyro)
Lead singer and guitarist for the band Biffy Clyro is a Kilmarnock man born and bred and has morphed into rock royalty internationally after creating a number of best selling albums. | Getty Images for MTV
22. Jimmy Sommerville (Bronski Beat/The Communards)
One of Scotland's most recognised voices, Sommerville was a hit maker and a fearless performance back in the 1980s and is still loved the world over and performing. | Getty Images
23. Callum Beattie
One of the more modern names on this list, Beattie's debut album 'People Like Us' topped the Scottish album chart in 2020 and shortly afterwards played a huge TRNSMT set that saw him explode further in the public conscience.
