National Folklore Day
Anna Massie with the very best of folk and roots music from Scotland and beyond.
Travelling Folk marks National Folklore Day, which is celebrated on 22 August.鈥�
Writer and curator Lally Macbeth talks about her book The Lost Folk: From the Forgotten Past to the Emerging Future of Folk, which looks at the past, present and future of the UK's folk culture - from music to Morris dancing and from pub signs to church kneelers.
Plus, we have new music and some more tracks from artists performing at the Edinburgh Festivals.
