Greetings for St Andrews day.

Hard to believe that it's the last Sunday in the month already. From the middle of next week, we should be able to mention the word Christmas without cringing, but before that there's another important date in the calendar that bridges the period - St Andrew's Day on Tuesday the 30th.

I don't remember paying much attention to any of the National Saints Days when I was younger but I think we tend to celebrate them more today - in the way Burns Night has come to mean a lot more to me too.

On the music front it got me thinking about Scottish songs with which to mark St Andrew's day and there are hundreds of them - it's actually quite difficult to pick a favourite although one of Burns' many love songs springs to mind "Ae Fond Kiss" is especially good. There's Loch Lomond - and of course the many other songs that praise all the different parts of Scotland... what are your favourites? Is there a song that you think captures the spirit of St Andrew's day, or just your favourite Scottish song. Let me know which one it is and why and we can include it in next weeks show. Write in or
