This chapter asks whether there is such a thing as Scottish popular music. It argues that while there is not such a thing, articulations of Scottishness are often made by the country’s popular musicians. It examines the ways in which Scottish-made popular music has been written about and at how notions of nationality are alluded to historically. It concludes by looking systematically at the attempts to discern the Scottishness of popular music in the musician’s voice, clothing, dour image, performance style and by reference to the issue of migration.
