Does anyone know any good scottish bands?

Question

I was looking for some modern Scottish bands that do a lot of traditional Scottish music like Loch Lomond, and the Skye boat song in a modern fashion. Anyone have any good suggestions? Thanks.

I think the style I'm looking for is called Celtic fusion, or scottish fusion.
