What's your favourite song by a Scottish group or singer?

Andy Stewart - "Donald Wheres Your Troosers"

BlueBell Polka by Jimmy Shand.
Only discovered it a few years ago.

Struggled at first, but

'Swim Until You Can't See Land' by Frightened Rabbit

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oxnuknYcXDw

is pleasingly Scottish

Paul McCartney and Wings "Mull of Kintyre"

The Proclaimers and "Lettuce from America"

Pretty much everything from "Big Country".....

Fisherman's Blues - Waterboys

"Maggie May" and many more from Rod Stewart...

Waterboys and "A Bang On The Ear".....

yep, agree with stevie about " fisherman blues " ....

The Jesus and Mary Chain - Nine Million Rainy Days

del amitri roll to me or maybe aztec camera oblivious

Same as Aunty P, Big Country were a very good band and did a lot of excellent songs like Chance, Fields Of fire and In A Big country. I saw them live when they supported The Stones and many people thought they were the better group!

Scotland World Cup Squad 82 - We Have A Dream

Deacon Blue - I'll never fall in love again (i know it's a cover)

bob vegas just txt me and says lena zavaroni

or Deacon Blue - Real Gone Kid

Chance
Wonderland
Pink Marshmallow Moon
Where The Rose Is Sown
Chesters Farm
Ships

All by Big Country

Masquerade

The Skids

Waterboys - the whole of the moon would be my choice. Fisherman's Blues is brilliant too.

Also surprised Belle and Sebastian haven't got a mention yet. Loads of great songs tho admittedly hard to choose one. More about the overall body of work.
