Scottish music comes in many forms.
These shows host a predominance of tartan, bagpipes, highland dancing and songs of hills and heather - essentially the image many tourists have of Scotland. They follow a successful recipe made famous by the television series 'The White Heather Club' broadcast in the 1960s. Another popular form in Scotland is Highland Dancing which is essentially a solo or group performance. There are hundreds if not thousands of SCD societies throughout the world. SCD goers tend to prefer music played to a strict tempo - bands such as the world famous Jimmy Shand, Jim Johnstone, John Ellis to name but a few.
