@@headofathousandsheepswool Just from what I know, take something like electric, you can fake it because on the track the guitar would be louder than the real guitar but with acoustic ot would be the same volume.

I have a little bit of Scots in me but have never been to Scotland. Pictures of the Highlands remind me of the Appalachians I grew up in and hiked over. There's nothing like looking into a deep valley from inside a mountain forest, or walking along the narrow ledge of a cliff face. It's most incredible to remember that the fastest way home from school was down a rock slide -- my friend and I did it in suits and ties!

[@JBurdoo]

16denier I've stayed in Glencoe twice, sadly no more than a day each time -- once camped in the town itself with stark peaks on all sides (and went hiking too), once in King's House a few miles up the A82 with Ben Doran towering out my window. Also drove up the Great Glen. Worked in Cumberland Gap for a summer and can confirm it's very like the Appalachians; no wonder the music is so similar, not just the ancestry but the terrain and weather both have the same feel and atmosphere. Get out there if you can. I'm not Scots but the literature and music drew me, and I want to go back again.

[@16denier]

Adrianne Webster I blame Patrick Stewart for that. On an old episode of Star Trek The Next Generation his character used the term "Scotts" to denote Scottish ethnicity. I assumed (wrongly) that being from the UK he would know better than I.

[@meandmyinsanity]

This is old but you might find it interesting if you didn't know already - the Appalachians and the Scottish Highlands are the same mountain range, split up as the continents drifted apart. That'll be why you look at pictures of the Highlands and are reminded of Appalachia

It is a guitar bouzouki. A gutitar body with 8 strings (4 sets of 2). This is an adaptation of the Greek Bouzouki retuned to suit Celtic and English Folk Music. The usual tuning is GDAD with the lower pairs of strings an octave apart and the upper string of the same pitch. You can tune a 12 String guitar to DADGAD to get a similar sound. the open chord is called a Suspended 4th, which is that characteristic, harp like, sound.
