A Japanese clothing brand featuring a 'North Lanarkshire' t-shirt has gone viral.

Many of us wear slogan tops featuring iconic place names like New York City or Los Angeles, but who knew that somewhere in the world, Scottish councils had the same representation? 

Japanese website Shoo-La-Rue has become a topic of conversation among Scots on social media recently for showcasing clothes with random Scottish place names.

One t-shirt is simply emblazoned 'North Lanarkshire' with daisies dotted around the lettering, with another says 'Falkirk'. 

Another oddly reads 'Falkirk' and 'West Lothian', two places that are not connected, and a random year, 1879. 

 

In a post shared widely on social media, Scottish football account Scotland's Coefficient wrote: "Fascinated by this. Japanese people wearing t-shirts adorned with random Scottish areas and towns, with dates of seemingly no relevance."

 

 The post has been liked over 1000 times with dozens of comments.

One person referred to a viral tweet from several years ago which read: "See how Scottish people wear tops that say New York or LA, do people from America wear tops saying 'Arbroath' or 'East Kilbride'?"

They shared the images of the Shoo-La-Rue tops and wrote: "Well there ye go. Japanese people wear tops that say Falkirk."
