The mandolin is not regarded as an instrument used to play traditional
Scottish music, and it is still very much in the minority as far as Scots
instrumentation goes (fiddle and accordion being the foremost).
However, there have been some notable mandolin players in Scottish folk,
traditional and dance music, and I have attempted to find out about those
musicians, and any other anecdotes, scandal and history regarding the
mandolin in Scotland. This is a big job, as you can imagine, and I have
just scratched the surface. These pages will be expanded in time, and I'd
love to hear your suggestions, stories, etc
(email me).
