fuzzydunlop Posted September 14, 2023 Share Posted September 14, 2023 Was chatting to my mate about about the use of 'Falkirk High Station' in the Malcolm Middleton song 'Loneliness Shines'. Must be hundreds of examples of others...I know First Big Weekend by Arab Strap mentions The Arches, theres Sunshine on Leith of course... also another Malcolm Middleton tune mentions P&B fave Motorway M9... Excellent band De Rosa with Cathkin Braes Any other suggestions? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
