Scotland is very famous for its traditional music, which is still loved and listened to by people today.
The Scottish traditional music is called ”Folk music” or “Celtic music” and can be traced back thousands of years. It has traditionally included a number of unusual instruments, such as the famous bagpipes. Bagpipes are the national instrument of Scotland that are often seen and heard as a symbol of the Scottish people throughout the world. The earliest recorded mention of bagpipes in Scottish history is from the 15th century. This traditional music is performed in three languages: English, Gaelic and Scots.
Scotland is home to numerous festivals which take place every year. There are many great options for both traditional and modern music.
Todays Scottish bands use many of the same techniques as their ancestors. Sometimes these artists even combine traditional methods with the latest technology to create truly remarkable sounds.
In my opinion, a visit to a music festival in Scotland clearly belongs on your list. Doesn’t matter wether it’s a traditional or a modern festival, an experience like this is unforgettable.
All in all, you can say that because of the various music and its history, that the festivals are definitely worth a visit.
