Travel across the pond in this episode and enjoy Scottish folk singers recorded at the Royal Oak Pub in Edinburgh. A few months ago, my brother and I travelled to the UK to visit my son, Leland, a PHD candidate in genomics and bioinformatics at Cambridge University. I packed my digital recorder and we ventured up to Scotland to experience the rich folk music scene in Edinburgh. Many thanks to my son Leland for the trip of a lifetime.
