Scotland’s music scene has always broken new ground.
From funk to post-punk, dream pop, indie and rave, some absolute belters have been forged on home soil over the decades as rock gave way to synths and electronica - and a new way of doing things.
Held deep in the archives, these photos - of bands such as Jesus and Mary Chain, Cocteau Twins and The Shamen - help chart some of the talent and the aural innovators who helped Scotland feel, and sound, a little different.

Originally formed in 1961 in the east end of Glasgow as the Gaylords, the band changed the name to Marmalade in 1966. Their biggest UK success was their cover of The Beatles' "Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da", which topped the UK chart in January 1969. | Getty Images Photo: Getty
