There are now a record nine billionaires in Scotland, according to the Sunday Times 2016 Rich List, which was released in April.

Some of those fortunes derive from international businesses portfolios, while some of those come from sources closer to home. The fortunes of those at the very top derive partly from the things Scotland is best-known for: whisky and highland water among them.

Some of those who make the list were born in Scotland, while others have since moved there - the country's huge estates providing a magnet for billionaires from all corners of the world. Take a look at the 11 wealthiest people who made this year's list.

(All the ages of the people who made the list correspond to the time their fortunes were calculated, which was as of April 24, this year.)
