And if you live in Aberdeen and have just got your offiical polling card through the door for the Scottish election - you might want to take a closer look at it.

Scotland has been spelled "Scotalnd."

A spokesperson for the Returning officer said: "This is a very disappointing, and of course, a very embarrassing proofing error. The 175,000 poll cards distributed will not be replaced as this unfortunate spelling mistake in no way invalidates the poll cards."
