Scotland is internationally known for its traditional music, which remained vibrant throughout the 20th century and into the 21st when many traditional forms worldwide lost popularity to pop music. Despite emigration and a well-developed connection to music imported from the rest of Europe and the United States, the music of Scotland has kept many of its traditional aspects and influenced many other forms of music.
Music is celebrated in Scotland through annual award ceremonies, including the Scottish Music Awards, Scottish Album of the Year Award, the Scots Trad Music Awards, and BBC Radio Scotland Young Traditional Musician.
