Robin Laing is a Scottish folk-singer and songwriter. Robin is originally from
Edinburgh, and Edinburgh will always be his spiritual home. His affection for
that city and indeed Scotland is evident in the subject matter of many of his
songs. Robin now lives in the idyllic setting of rural Lanarkshire. Already he
is sniffing out the local songs and finding possible subjects for composition.

Until September 1996, Robin's musical activities were semi-professional and
fitted into a life dominated by a busy professional career as Director of a
major Scottish mental health charity. Still he managed to do a fair bit of
touring and release two solo albums, "Edinburgh Skyline" (1989) and "Walking in
Time" (1994). He was also involved in two CD projects - "The Music and Song of
Edinburgh", and "The Merry Muses". In September 1996 Robin "downshifted" to a
full-time career in music - something he had wanted to do for some time.

While much of his repertoire reflects the influence of singer/songwriters
including Paul Simon and the late Stan Rogers, Edinburgh-born and Lanarkshire,
Scotland-based guitarist and vocalist Robin Laing is at his best interpreting
traditional Scottish ballads, fiddle tunes, and the songs of Robert Burns. Folk
Tap described Laing as possessing, “a pleasantly melodic voice and a
beautifully clear guitar…, a touch of Ralph McTell wi’ an
accent,” while, Folk Roots called him, “a very sincere, likable and
polished performer.”
