Fàilte gu Alba na WorldVision!
Welcome to the Scottish Green Room (Seòmar Uaine Albannach), home of all things Scots. This mystical region covers basically the north of the UK, from Dumfries and Galloway and Scottish Borders to the northeastern islands of Orkney and Shetland. One of the original regions existing from the very first edition of WV, Scotland has participated more than 125 times under eight different jurors, garnering their victories in WV2 (Amy McDonald's "Pride" under theditz83) and WV97 (Secret Garden ft. Karen Matheson's "Greenwaves" under Gera11).

Meet Eulaliya (Coinnich ri Eulaliya)
Returning from an 18-edition break, Eulaliya first joined WV way back in WV68, charming the audience with the former ESC Maltese entrant Debbie Scerri with "Holma". Her WV career has seen a hodgepodge of variety here and there across different regions in Europe and Asia (including her homeland the Philippines) and eventually settling within the UK. From homegrown gems like Asin's "Itanong mo sa mga bata", long rollercoaster auditory experiences like Mike Oldfield's "Ommadawn (Part 1)" to danceable hits like Tina Cousins' "Pray", Dead or Alive's "You Spin Me Round (Like a Record)", and Chicane's "Saltwater", Eulaliya never disappoints with variety. She has won three times so far - WV84 with Wales together with her dear friend Lupus (Bonnie Tyler's "Total Eclipse of the Heart"), WV112 with Belgium (Tamino's "Habibi"), and WV140 with London (Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody").

Outside of WV, Eulaliya is a university student studying Hospitality Management at a large private university in Sub-Saharan Mindanao in the Philippines. She spends her free time reading historical and romance fiction and writing fanfiction, as well as occasionally drawing.

This Edition (An deasachadh seo)
After yet another National Final, Glaswegian band Camera Obscura has emerged as the victor. Their song "Lloyd, I'm Ready to Be Heartbroken" explores jealousy and heartbreaking themes in a brighter, more playful, teeny-boppy light, as evident in its music video.

I don't think I'll be voting this time because I was one of the people who helped you non qualify the last time with my taste in music.

You can still vote! It's not your fault if :sc: doesn't qualify as long as you've supported our entries ❤️

In case there are no votes by midnight, I might extend the deadline to tomorrow at 15 CEST, or in extreme cases, go by the default winner...

...and the heartbreaking part is here! Scotland sadly extends its already growing NQ streak. </3

Good thing we're going to give runners-up Belle & Sebastian a second chance for next edition, so stay tuned :)

(Or in case they announce their non-participation, we are ready to say goodbye to the Land of the Brave and go somewhere else...)
