Latest Scottish Government figures show that in the year ending September 2023 Scotland imported goods worth £32.3 billion from around the world.
That figure was a decrease of 8.3 per cent (£2.9 billion) from the year before - largely due to falling gas prices - compared to the UK overall, where imports increased by 2.2 per cent.
Here are the 10 types of goods that Scotland imported most off last year.
1. Gas
Natural gas is by quite some distance Scotland's top import. Last year we spend £6.9 billion on bringing it in - more than twice the total of the second placed import. | Canva/Getty Images
2. Power generating machinery
Second spot when it comes to goods imported into Scotland foes to power generating equipment. £3.2 billion was spent last year on the likes of wind turbines - up over a third from the year before. | Canva/Getty Images

4. Oil
It may seem odd for a country that actually exported £9.3 billion of oil last year, but Scotland also imported £1.6 billion of the black stuff last year - our fourth largest import. | Canva/Getty Images
