Favorite 'modern' scottish musicians

[Tony Miles]

I keep waiting for someone to mention Bay City Rollers so they can be derided into oblivion

I second the Aztec Camera endorsement, and am also a big fan of Big Country. While I don't believe that any of the members of Big Country were born in Scotland, I know that Stuart Adamson grew up in Dumferline, and have always enjoyed the rocking Celtic sound of of their early albums (The Crossing, the Wonderland EP, Steeltown and The Seer). They were a VERY underrated band.

I downloaded their version of "Flower of Scotland" a couple of days from Itunes and I love it.

Enter the Haggis. David Byrne of the Talking Heads that's right born in Scotland. I'll also have to second the Bay City Rollers!!!
