TODAY Google celebrate St Andrew's day with a trademark Doodle on its homepage.
If ever there was a better time to celebrate - this would have to be it - especially after an exciting weekend for Scotland, as Andy Murray won the Davis Cup for Great Britain.
The Doodle shows the white X prominent on the Scottish flag - over the Loch Ness - with an appearance from the legendary Loch Ness monster.
St Andrew's day is the day to celebrate Scottish Culture, food and dance
St Andrew's day is the day to celebrate Scottish Culture, food and dance - but exactly who is the Patron Saint?
A disciple of Jesus, Andrew was in fact a Galilean fisherman before he and his brother Peter became Apostles.

| St Andrew was one of the disciples of Jesus |
Scotland is one of the few countries to have one of Jesus's disciples as their Patron Saint and St Andrew is also the Patron Saint of Romania, Greece and Russia.
St Andrew was crucified by the Romans on an X-shaped cross in Patras, Greece - this was to be known as the Saltire on the flag of Scotland.
