You have to go well back for the likes of Deacon Blue, Jesus & Mary Chain & Primal Scream. I suppose recently you have Franz Ferdinand & The Fratellis.

Deacon Blue
Biffy Clyro
Eurythmics?
Angus, Malcolm and Bon Scott were all born in Scotland.:)
Honorable mentions also to Mogwai, Belle & Sebastian and Teenage Fanclub.
Also one of my favourite bands of the last few years, Frightened Rabbit, are Scottish but I wouldnt really claim that they're in the "best ever" category just yet.
But I'd go for Fish from Marillion personally .... :cool:
Big Country were yep, great band. I'd put them up there in my top half a dozen scottish bands as well.
Fish is Scottish, but I think the rest of Marillion were English and the band were formed in England so I don't think they'd really count. But they were great in the days that Fish was a member.
Big Country are a spin off from the Skids when Richard Jobson left

I've been trying to forget Travis for about 10 years now
For me its one of:
The Blue Nile
Belle and Sebastian,
Mogwai
Bis
But its hard to say. I would probably say one of:
Eurythmics
Skids
Arab Strap
Biffy Clyro
Jesus and Mary Chain
If you asked me on another day.
Yeah, I'm not talking about Marillion. Fish has been solo since late eighties, so it's him and his band I speak of. Mind you, whether all of THEM are Scottish or not, I don't know. Perhaps best Scottish artist rather than band?
