GOOGLE has marked St Andrews Day by changing its usual logo to special Scottish doodle for the day.
The web giant is known for changing up its usual homepage logo to mark special days throughout the year, such as the birthdays of historical figures or the anniversaries of significant scientific discoveries.
Today's doodle is in honor of Scotland's national day, and features thistles, unicorns and the Loch Ness Monster (because of course it does).
It was created by Scottish artist Johanna Basford who also included some of Scotland's majestic wildlife in the design, including our largest native land mammal, the red deer.
If you would like to print out and colour in your own version of the doodle, you can do so over on Johanna Basford's website.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
