Our Take

Six Strings North of the Border showcases the rich tapestry of talent coming out of Scotland's music scene, with a diverse range of artists sharing their unique perspectives through the universal language of the guitar. From the haunting folk melodies of Rura to the electrifying punk rock of The Snuts, this album has something for every listener to sink their teeth into.

One standout track is "Highland Harmonies" by The Pipers, which blends traditional Scottish bagpipe music with modern rock influences for a truly original sound. The juxtaposition of ancient and contemporary elements creates a captivating listening experience that is both nostalgic and fresh.

Another memorable moment comes from singer-songwriter Isla MacLeod's poignant ballad "The Shores of Loch Lomond," where her soulful vocals effortlessly convey the beauty and melancholy of the Scottish landscape. The raw emotion in her performance is enough to bring a tear to even the most stoic of listeners' eyes.

Overall, Six Strings North of the Border is a triumph of Scottish music, showcasing the depth and diversity of talent that the country has to offer. Whether you're a seasoned music aficionado or just dipping your toes into the vibrant world of Scottish music, this album is sure to leave a lasting impression. So grab a dram of whisky, sit back, and let the sounds of Scotland wash over you. Cheers!
