The Daily Record is putting your knowledge of Scottish names to the test to see how many you know the origins and meanings of — and it is harder than you think.

It's no secret to anyone living in Scotland that we have some of the most beautiful names anywhere in the world.

While you have probably at least heard of a fair amount of Scots names, it's unlikely you know the origins of most of them — even the more popular ones.

While you might find some pretty easy, others will no doubt give you a bit of trouble. Either way, you are sure to learn something.Good luck, and let us know how you get on in the comments below!
