For the last four days here at Scottish Fiction, we've been canvassing to find out who YOU think will win the third Scottish Album of the Year Award. 

The award, as well you know by now, honours the best Scottish album from 2013 drawn from a long list of twenty chosen by independent industry nominators.  The public got their say (no pun intended) for 72 hours between 26th and 28th May to choose one album that they thought should be on the short list of ten, a process which threw up Biffy Clyro Opposites as the winner.  Now it's all down to the eleven SAY Award judges as to who walks away with the prize of £20,000.

This year's short list reads like a who's who of Scottish music.  Biffy Clyro, last year's winner RM Hubbert, the intangible but hugely influential Boards of Canada, post-rock behemoths Mogwai and indie cult heroes Edwyn Collins, Steve Mason and The Pastels.  It's not all about the established acts though as Young Fathers and Hector Bizerk both have a spot in the short list - check out our interview with Louie from Hector Bizerk here - and although they are a household name in the UK, it's worth remembering the CHVRCHES have only risen to such heights within the last 18 months.

Who'd want to pick from the short list?  Award ceremonies always have an edge of argument about them, as fans and critics alike debate why their chosen artists should have won.  And that is part of the appeal, and the joy of music, that we all individually love, respect, enjoy and hold to acclaim different music but with equal passion and vigour.  So while it is the decision of eleven judges to choose the official winner, here are the results of our Scottish Fiction public vote.
