Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

Made in Scotland: Studies in Popular Music serves as a
comprehensive and thorough introduction to the history, politics,
culture and musicology of twentieth and twenty-first century
popular music in Scotland. The volume consists of essays by local
experts and leading scholars in Scottish music and culture, and
covers the major figures, styles, and social contexts of popular
music in Scotland. Each essay provides adequate context so readers
understand why the figure or genre under discussion is of lasting
significance. The book includes a general introduction to Scottish
popular music, followed by essays organized into three thematic
sections: Histories, Politics and Policies, and Futures and
Imaginings. Examining music as cultural expression in a country
that is both a nation and a region within a larger state, this
volume uses popular music to analyse Scottishness, independence and
diversity and offers new insights into the complexity of cultural
identity, the power of historical imagination, and the effects of
power structures in music. It is a vital read for scholars and
students interested in how popular music interacts with and shapes
such issues both within and beyond the borders of Scotland.
