A Scottish Podcast About Scotland!

This week is karaoke week on the Thistle Do Nicely pod, as we take you on a tour of some of the most famous and patriotic songs about the homeland. 

After a quick rummage in the sporran we take a look at our official unofficial National Anthems, the emotionally tumultuous Caledonia and the anthemic Loch Lomond. 

If you want to listen along to all the songs we talk about (plus a few other bangers), check out the below Spotify Playlist:
