The earliest Scottish music was probably harp
tunes and Gaelic singing. Many forms of Scottish
music exist... from pipe and drum to folk styles.
One of the most well known is dance music, based
on traditional Scottish dances including
stepdance. dance music is played to this day at
ceilidhs, weddings and country dances.
Scottish instruments include harp, accordian, fiddle, guitar, tin whistle, drums and of course, the great Highland bagpipe or pìob mór. Bagpipes can be traced back as far as the 6th century. Scottish clans known for piping include the Clans MacLeod, MacCrimmon, McKay, MacDonald, and MacArthurs.
Some well known musicians of Scottish descent are Steve McDonald, Rod Stewart, Donovan, Donald Black, Gordon Duncan, Fred Morrison, and one of my favorites, Ian Anderson of Jethro Tull. Scottish bands of notoriety include The Clutha, The Boys of the Lough, the Incredible String Band, and The Tannahill Weavers.
I only have a few Scottish songs so far, but I'm working on more. Let me know what you want to hear on the form at the bottom of the page.
