B68: Scottish Songs

 I've done a list of Scottish songs before in various forms, but I'm having another crack.

I felt, watching a documentary recently about the Glasgow scene of the 80s, that my own taste in "Scottish Pop" is very much second or third generation - B and S are one thing, but most folk in the know would mostly think of Josef K, then the Pastels etc

Anyway, this is an attempt to be somewhat all-inclusive, including the more mainstream side of it. I love 'Goodnight Girl', after all ...

There's still so much missing:
