Untrained ears may immediately mistaken Scottish music for traditional Irish music. That's not too surprising, the neighboring cultures have been known to influence one another. On the other hand, Scottish music has a rich history all its own. This edition from the "Rough Guide" series exposes the roots of this culture through a variety of contemporary and traditional folk tunes, often centered around instruments like the fiddle and the Highland pipes (the robust cousin to the Irish uilleann pipes). Artists include renowned supergroup Capercaillie, Boys of the Lough, Cliar, Emily Smith, the Battlefield Band and more.
