Attic style arboretum.
I didn't quite understand your comments although I tried - I have ten times as many records by Scottish artists than you.
Hope this helps.

My aim was only to include Scottish musicians so it should be 100% of them rather than quite a lot.

Whenever I hear the word owl I think of the great Marty Feldman.

The attic at my parents house was a scary place when I was a child it gave me nightmares. There was no ladder to climb in to it and I don't like heights so the process of climbing up through the ceiling hatch using the boiler and towel rack was only possible with a lot of upper body strength. Climbing down was equally as difficult so going in to the attic was a big deal and there were no boards down so moving around was like a Crystal Maze challenge. Eventually some old wardrobe doors were used to create more storage and something to walk on and a few years ago the folks had a pull down ladder installed so now it's a lot more straight forward going up there. The coldness and musty smell up there still reminds me of childhood. I was up there a few weeks ago and found a bunch of old school stuff. The first essay I wrote in my History GCSE book has this response from my teacher who I'm facebook pals with. I got on with him but to call him no nonsense would be an understatement.
"Pathetic and unfinished. Fail" 
I'm going to take a screenshot to send to him.
