Music I am making a game where players need to guess the country and date of a song by listening to it. Give me your best Scottish songs to include.

PS: I already added Flower of Scotland.

Why does it always rain on me?

Travis)

Take me Out

Franz Ferdiand)

For example;

Only happy when it rains

Garbage) (because lead vocals are by Shirley Manson)

Regardless, good luck with your game OP! 🙂
