Sannock   About the name ... Sannock is an old Scots word for Sandy and can be found in a letter by Robert Burns to James Tenant of Glenconer in which he wrote, "An' Lord remember singing Sannock, wi' hail breeks, saxpence and a bannock" Today Sannock is Sandy Marshall, a versatile singer, songwriter and member of the popular Perthshire folk band, Tarneybackle.
