Emilie Sande
I won’t count Rod Stewart 😉
Dick Gaughan
Kevin Gore
Rabbie Burns

Not in any order.
If you're old enough you might remember the Incredible String Band, Donovan, Maggie Bell, Marmalade, Maggie Riley. More recent favourite Love and Money.
All these posts and no David Byrne? 😮
Personal favourites would be James Grant, Roddy Frame, the Cocteau Twins, Goodbye Mr Mackenzie . More to follow....
In terms of influence, Bert Jansch (without whom there might not have been Led Zeppelin) and Ian Stewart (ditto for the Stones)
Forgot Michael Marra.
No particular order
Deacon Blue
Gerry Rafferty
Goodbye Mr Mackenzie
Marti Pellow
Annie Lennox
Texas
Fags n Matches
Kevin Gore, a friend and an excellent Edinburgh singer/songwriter and a good Hibby, very talented and extremely underrated.

Dougie McLean merits a mention too.
The View
The view the view the view are on fire. Unbelievable band
A fair amount of guff above, I think we've underperformed as a nation, compare us to London or Liverpool or Manchester and its a massacre. Sensational Alex Harvey were great tbf and obvious class like procs primal scream but nothing earth shattering. Our intentions and literature make it not matter though
