The Pictish Trail

The Pictish Trail

The Pictish Trail is the recording name of Johnny Lynch, a musician from Edinburgh, United Kingdom, born in 1981. He is associated with the Fence Collective and releases music on Lost Map Records. The act is linked with Gangplank and sits across electronic, folk, folktronica, indie pop and indietronica, alongside the folk and Scottish associations often attached to the project.

Lynch’s music is described through small keyboard figures, acoustic neo-folk textures and unusual electronic sounds. The songs combine a warm, direct approach with an off-kilter style that places the project within the wider Scottish independent scene.
