Dick Gaughan grew up in Leith and became one of Scotland’s most powerful singers and guitarists, admired for his driving playing and fierce commitment. He played with the Boys of the Lough and Five Hand Reel before a long solo career, and his album Handful of Earth is counted among the great folk records. He retired from performing after a stroke in 2016.
