WITH freezing temperatures hitting Scotland, a new appeal has been launched to come up with gritter names to join classics such as “Sir Grits Hoy” and "Yes Sir, Ice Can Boogie”.
More than 6000 suggestions have already been submitted as Amey South-West Trunk Roads runs its popular annual competition.
Scotland’s tradition of coming up with inventive and fun names has gone viral on social media and has made headlines around the world.
The fleet previously attracted the attention of Irn-Bru with the gritter named “Grits You Thru” while in 2021 staff at the Tunnock’s factory coined a vehicle “Caramelt Wafer”.
Gritter names can be submitted online HERE from today while name reveals will take place on the @SWTRUNKROADS social media channels.
Winners from last year’s competition and new additions to the fleet for the 2023/24 winter season include:
- “Kevin Fridges”
- “Stone Cold Steve Frostin”
- “Keanu Freeze”
- “Taylor Drift”
- “Sleeter Andre”
- “Skate Bush”
The full list of gritters can be found HERE.
