Dubbed "Scotland's worst Christmas tree", a 25ft Norwegian fir in Shetland needed a helping hand.

Organisers Living Lerwick said they ran out of time to decorate the tree properly before the switch-on last Saturday and have vowed to give it another go this weekend.

Were they short on supplies or ideas? Did last year's decorations not come up to scratch, or could they not be found in the loft?

Whatever the reason, we decided to have a think about our own trees and scoured the Scottish internet for some of the finest decorations this land can offer.

An official royal seal of approval for the festive period with this thistle number, which mentions the Palace of Holyroodhouse on the back.

The £12.95 ornament is described as "a charming and delicately embroidered thistle decoration, embellished with colourful glistening threads".

After a year of much political angst and a worldwide case of the blues, the Queen might have a thing or two to say in her speech this year.

Donald Trump's mother might have been from Lewis but we're sure he would be able to donate one of these decorations to a fellow Scottish island struggling with its Christmas tree.

The 14-karat gold product, originally priced $149.99, has unfortunately sold out on Amazon and has garnered a fairly underwhelming set of reviews.

Comments ranged from "Came with an entire crate of white hood ornaments. Great bargain! Downside: My tree is now on fire" to "Not safe if you have cats in the house".

...an unofficial SNP-themed ornament that you can get in a number of shapes and sizes.

Ranging from £11 to £18 it is, as we say, unofficial.

Unfortunately, none of the major political parties have decorations on offer in their online stores.

While Father Christmas can claim to get around the world in a single night, his 364 days off the grid are nothing compared to Nessie's hundreds of years in the wilderness.

The slightly confusingly named "Union Jack Wear Loch Ness Monster Christmas Tree Decoration/Tree Hanging" (because there's no Union Jack in sight) is only £3.59 if you're looking to fill your tree on a budget.

Stars can be difficult to come by. Angels are one of a kind. And you can't get more one of a kind than the Partick Thistle mascot, Kingsley.

The Jags might not be the top of the tree this season when it comes to the footballing stakes but we imagine many a home would love to see the David Shrigley creation atop a festive fir.

Alas it seems this product is a one of a kind in itself. Even after a year and a half on the scene, Kingsley is still waiting to be one of the hotly anticipated Christmas toys.

People outside Scotland rarely recognise the appeal. Even people outside Glasgow only do it to make fun of their Weegie neighbours.

But with this piece the Duke of Wellington is ready to rock around the Christmas tree and can do so in a variety of colours for just £10.

Tunnock's haven't branched out (sorry) into the festive market but maybe you can try this winter winner yourself. You'll be eating teacakes all month anyway.

Don't go to the extreme lengths of one man who stole caramel wafers from a laptop bag... but left the laptop.

Call it minimalist, if you will. Call it making do with what you've got. Or you can decide which of the two camps you fall under: curiously brilliant or one of the worst trees out there.

Setting up something like this would not take much more than what you may already have, or some visits to a value store where all items are conveniently marked at the same price.

There are no words for this... except for "please drink responsibly this Christmas".
