As well as taking inspiration from her Scottish heritage, Carolyn's passion for the works of Robert Burns made her gravitation towards the Scottish traditional folk scene almost inevitable. Since moving to Edinburgh, Carolyn has been involved with numerous musical endeavors - including 'Never Ending Arts' which sought to expose the local arts scene through promotion of events in the capital. She is also a part of a rich tapestry of musicians who regularly perform in the so-called "Grand Ole Opry of Folk", Edinburgh's 'Royal Oak'. Indeed it is through the 'Royal Oak' that Carolyn came to be working with many of the musicians who appeared on her debut album 'An Introduction To Carolyn Anona Scott'. The Royal Oak's much acclaimed Annual Song-writing Competition awarded it's top prize to Carolyn in 2008 for the heartfelt tribute to her late grandmother 'Old Tea Stains'. Her performance of the traditional classic 'Wild Mountain Thyme' on the Royal Oak's 2008 Album 'The Royal Oak - Best Of Folk' (Magic Park Records) received great acclaim. The Sunday Times sighted it as the high point of the album, describing the performance as "spine tingling". Over the past year, Carolyn has become heavily involved with 'The Garden Sessions'. The Garden Sessions is an online hub for the Scottish Folk Scene, providing a free, fortnightly internet radio show which proclaims to deliver the best in traditional and contemporary folk music. Carolyn appeared as a featured artist on the show in 2007, and has more recently appeared as an "outside broadcast reporter" interviewing many of the great and the good of the Scottish Folk scene. Carolyn released her debut album 'An Introduction to Carolyn Anona Scott' (Garden Sessions) in August 2009. The album is made up of 50% original material, 50% traditional. Produced by Jack Foster, 'An Introduction to Carolyn Anona Scott featured guest performances from such luminaries as Hailey Beavis, Chris Silver, Al James, Eddy Hanson, Martin Boland, Ewen Forfar, Kim Edgar and Sarah McFadyen.
