How many of the people on our list have you seen out and about in towns of West Lothian?
5. Frankie Corio
Frankie Corio, a 13-year-old schoolgirl from Livingston, has been widely praised for her role in the Oscar-nominated film Aftersun. And after the teenager picked up Best Young British/Irish actor at the Critics Circle Awards in London on Sunday night, Hollywood star Blanchett was among the first to congratulate her, alongside Florence Pugh and Michelle Yeoh.

6. Lewis Capadi
The Whitburn singer has gone on to become one of the biggest pop stars on the planet in recent years. The Someone You Loved hitmaker was named on the ‘Young Music Rich List’ after amassing a £19 million fortune – just a couple of years after complaining that he was ‘skint’. Photo: Third Party

8. The Snuts
In 2021, the four-piece, from Whitburn scored a number one with their debut album WL - and in doing so they denied US pop star Demi Lovato the crown after a closely-fought race. Titled WL, the album pays tribute to the Whitburn Loopy, the trouble-makers and youths from their hometown, and was backed in the race for number one by fellow chart-topping Scot Lewis Capaldi. The Snuts have since released a second album and go from strength to strength. Photo: Third Party
