  • Content: Original compositions by Neil Grant and Harry Carmichael, who were both involved with the BBC in Glasgow and The White Heather Club, a television programme featuring Scottish music, song and dance. The Jim Macleod Band were regular performers on the show.
  • Dating: This looks exactly like the Kerr's format, but it has Scotia Music instead of James S Kerr; possibly a subsidiary?
  • Availability: Not in print.
