| Music of Scotland at AllExperts (3593 words) |
 | Scottish traditional music, although influencing and being influenced by both Irish traditional music and English traditional music, is very much a creature unto itself, and, despite the popularity of various international pop music forms, remains a vital and living tradition. |
| The history of the guitar in traditional music is recent; as is that of the cittern and bouzouki, which in the forms used in Scottish and Irish music only date to the late 1960s. |
| Music had long been primarily a solo affair, until The Clutha, a Glasgow-based group, began solidifying the idea of a Celtic band, which eventually consisted of fiddle or pipes leading the melody, and bouzouki and guitar along with the vocals. |
