Edinburgh reeled through in broad Lowland Scots by equal male and female voices — Old Town closes, a New Town that's two centuries old, Leith, Portobello, Stockbridge, the Meadows — and the buried history beneath it all: the drained loch, Burke and Hare, Deacon Brodie, the one o'clock gun, the half-built Parthenon. Genteel on top, gallows underneath, and every word of it true.

Style
Fast, high-energy Scottish folk-rock at ~168 BPM, with fiddle and tin whistle carrying a reel-like melody over bouzouki, mandolin and accordion, a hard rock kit with a snare-and-bodhrán backbone, and foot-stomps and handclaps throughout, sung by equal male and female Edinburgh/Lowland Scots co-leads trading verses into huge gang-vocal choruses.
