Tour Scotland travel video of Scots playing accordion music on visit to Kirriemuir in Angus Region. The accordion originated in Italy in the early 19th century and became popular all over Europe. It quickly found its place in Scottish music, its greater power lending itself to playing alongside the fiddle in dance bands, and its complexity allowing it to play a wide variety of tunes and styles.
