A Scottish mix - I know there are quite a few of them around the site, but I hope you enjoy this nonetheless! I put this together recently, just for fun, and, seeing as it was Burns' night the other night, used it as musical entertainment for the Burns supper a couple of friends and I decided to have. We did address the haggis first, though! Haggis, neeps, tatties and Mogwai - cannae beat it. :)

Ach, missed Burns night again. You'd think I'd have learned how to mark it on my calendar by now. Mmmm, haggis 'n' orange juice. This looks rrreally grrreat Siobhan. Love the Teenage Fanlub and Roddy Frame/Edwyn Collins picks especially.

Yay for Scottish music! I love that Looper track, and of course the world would be considerably worse off without the Vaselines and Mogwai to caress its eardrums.

There can never be too many Scottish mixes on Art of the Mix. In fact, I wish someone would come up with "Art of the Scottish Mix."

Ah, this'd be nice with a wee drammie. I don't know if I'm the only person on the site to have experienced vegetarian haggis, but it's definitely an experience to be missed.

This looks really super, Siobhan. Love the TFC, Vaselines, Mogwai, Camera Obscura and B&S tracks, especially. We'll have to put together another trade here sometime soon.
