Glastonbury Song by The Waterboys mentions Maybole

 

I dreamed myself from the sultry plains
To the old green square back in old Maybole

 

 

Gray adorable city by the docks in I want the World to stop. Good video too after the really smarmy intro

This Is A Low by Blur mentions Cromarty 

Good shout. Also mentions Forth at the same bit and a punning mention of Forties in the following line too- if we're counting hypothetical maritime EEZ as part of Scotland for this purpose. 

Also The Race by Yello, Faslane and Nairn. 

 

 

 

 

(sorry for that last bit)

“From Westwood to Hollywood,

One thing that’s understood etc…”

Came on to post this. Roddy Frame was from the Westwood area of East Kilbride. When I'm drunk and this comes on it becomes imperative that every single person I'm out with are aware of this utterly fascinating fact 😎.
