Major honours
Scotland produces world champions at the highest density of any country relative to its population. Walter Donaldson left the first mark, winning the old challenge-format championship twice, in 1947 and 1950, but the real leap came in 1990, when Stephen Hendry became world champion at 21 years and 106 days, still the youngest ever. Hendry went on to win seven titles in the following decade, including five in a row from 1992 to 1996, a level of dominance unmatched by anyone else in the Crucible era. John Higgins carried Scottish snooker after Hendry with four titles from 1998, and Graeme Dott's 2006 win, while shuttling between the Crucible and his cancer-stricken father's bedside, produced one of the sport's most affecting stories. Stephen Maguire and Anthony McGill have added ranking titles of their own, keeping the country's playing base deep.

Rivalry
The rivalry with England runs through this country's whole snooker history, but internally the generational comparison between the Hendry era and the Higgins era remains a running debate among Scottish fans.
