Traditionally, Scotland's reputation as a hotbed of music ranks right up there with it's reputation as a mecca for fine dining. In fact, we're pretty sure that the bagpipes are the musical equivalent of haggis. That aside, and contrary to popular assumption, the land that gave us television, penicillin and whiskey is also home to some of the best rock bands in the world today. Don't act so surprised.
