Scottish instrumental and vocal music is an essential part of Scottish culture and is associated with dancing and storytelling. Much of Scottish traditional music remains unchanged to this day.
The fusion of traditional Gaelic music with rock music has become known as Celtic rock. Typical rock instruments such as electric guitar, bass guitar and drum kit are combined with acoustic Scottish folk instruments.
