Collection: Scottish Folk

Scottish Folk is a rich and diverse genre deeply rooted in the cultural traditions of Scotland. It encompasses a range of styles and influences, from the lively instrumental tunes of Orkney and Shetland Folk to the haunting Gaelic mouth music known as Puirt-A-Beul. The genre has also spread its influence across the Atlantic, giving rise to Canadian Celtic and Cape Breton Folk, which blend Scottish traditions with North American influences. Bothy Ballads, a distinctive subgenre, tell stories of rural Scottish life and agricultural work. Scottish Folk is characterized by its use of traditional instruments such as the fiddle, bagpipes, and accordion, as well as its emphasis on storytelling through song. Whether it's the foot-stomping rhythms of a ceilidh dance or the melancholic air of a Highland lament, Scottish Folk music continues to captivate audiences with its timeless appeal and cultural significance.
