There has to be a Scottish connection - and it's Scotland's First Minister. Although born in Scotland, Humza Yusaf's family are from Pakistan, which I believe is the answer.

It is indeed Pakistan BB. Mostly in the city of Sialkot where they also make kilts at about a quarter of the price quoted in Scotland. Apparently the whole thing started there by supplying firstly the British and then the Indian Army. Over to you.
Cheers cologne - I had no idea about the kilts, probably because I wouldn't wear one in a fit - cheap foreign imports!
Which company had the worldwide rights to its name & logo taken away by authorities, and regained it 75 years later at great cost?
A large illuminated version of the logo once stood over the entrance to the Suez Canal.
No - the logo over the Suez Canal was erected 60 years after the East India Company was dissolved.
The logo on the company's HQ is 51 metres in diameter, with letters 7 metres high, and is illuminated by 1,710 bulbs - apparently the biggest trademark in the world.
Presumably Bayer, then, but I don't know the story. This product of theirs called Heroin sounds interesting according to the adverts from just over a hundred years ago. A suppressant of coughs apparently.

Was running out of clues - my next one was going to be that the football club they sponsor has played one/lost one against Watford.Presumably Bayer, then, but I don't know the story.

In 1919, the Treaty of Versailles saw Bayer stripped of the rights to their famous logo/trademark - the Bayer Cross - which were sold on to an American company for $250k. In 1994, they paid $1bn to get them back.
Over to you
It is. Only the one performance for us, I believe. Well done. Over to you.
Cheers andy.
At 7.75 kilometres, the third longest in the world is in South Africa;
At 7.82 kilometres, the second longest is in China;
Both are dwarfed by the longest which is 1350 kilometres.
What are they and where is the longest?

Are these all hiking trails? If so, the longest would be the one that runs from Albania to Slovenia.
No, not hiking trails - although there's a lot of hiking involved with them. They do involve sport.
Thanks BB. An easy one for WFC fans.
