A Scotch Mist: Songs for St. Andrew

Here is a little fact about me, you may not have noticed before, but if you look a little closer at the slight red tinge imbedded in my nose you'll see I am a Scotch, a Scotsman, a Scottish, a deep fried munching, dram swigging, tartan shitting Jock. I haven't lived there since I was a wee bairn and my Mum's Englishness dilutes my tartan blood a tad, but I'm a hell of a lot more Scotch than our great patron Saint Andrew; a yoghurt scoffing, feta cheesed Greek. I don't actually know what he did, and as he hung out with all those bible lot, I'm not entirely sure if he actually existed, and if he did they sure could've hung him a little more dignity...

 Getting a wee look there are ye laddie? Checking if he's a proper Scotch an' making sure he can see his soon lifeless Willy... he wasn't a proper Scotch and besides Scotland share the patron saint with the Ukraine, Poland, Russia, Romania, somewhere in Greece, Italy, Malta and Portugal.
Anyway, let's leave it to the Irish and anyone with the loosest possible connection to an Irish person to celebrate a Patron saint beyond any reason.
Here are some songs that are both Scottish and not Scottish but have something to do with Scotland... so that's the theme... And no a bagpipe or Deacon Blue in sight.
