The coronavirus pandemic disrupted lives, cancelled events and brought parts of the country to a standstill.

But as more and more of us spent time indoors as a result of lockdowns, it’s safe to say one aspect of Scottish life remained the same.

If there’s one thing that could survive a pandemic, it would be our humour – bold as brass and utterly unapologetic.

Here, we’ve summed up nine tweets from the last year that perfectly sum up Scotland’s patter for 2020. 

Some of the greatest (and worst) times of our lives surrounded the yearly country dancing.

Keeping with the Christmas theme, who could forget our brilliant gritters. 

‘Yes Sir, Ice Can Boogie’ – you couldn’t make it up.

Early December saw the initial roll-out of the coronavirus vaccine in Scotland.

But who should we trust?

If you’re the lad in this tweet, you might want to forget, after his pals left a fake proposal for his first date.

And who could forget one of the biggest moments of Scottish football in more than 20 years, with the men’s team finally qualifying for a major tournament again.

But what colour was David Marshall’s kit?...

Celebrations were wild, with living rooms across the country going crazy after the tense penalty shoot-out.

No-more so than in Andy Murray’s house…

And in typical Scottish fashion… we just had to double check first.
