Songs from Northern Britain is the sixth studio album by Scottish alternative rock band Teenage Fanclub. Produced by David Bianco and the group themselves, the album was released on 29 July 1997 through Creation Records. Teenage Fanclub's previous album, Grand Prix, had been seen as a comeback in their home of the UK, though its success elsewhere was limited. With more time and resources, the band recorded Songs from Northern Britain—a tongue-in-cheek title referring to their native Scotland—with producer David Bianco in Surrey. The record's lyrical themes focus heavily on love and domestic life. The album was completed at London's Air Studios, and its accompanying artwork was taken by photographer Donald Milne around the Scottish Highlands.
Upon its release, the album received mainly positive reviews from music critics. Commercially, Songs from Northern Britain saw Teenage Fanclub achieve their highest chart positions in the UK, with the record peaking at number three on the UK Albums Chart. "Ain't That Enough", the lead single from the LP, became their best-charting single in the UK as well, peaking at number 17. The album fared poorly in the US, despite a high-profile tour with Radiohead. The album saw a re-release on vinyl in 2018, alongside four other Teenage Fanclub albums.
