With roots in traditional Scottish songs, Gordon Jones and Bob Thomas formed the folk band Silly Wizard in 1972. The group shuffled through a bewildering number of line-ups before issuing their self-titled debut in 1976. After a well-received follow-up, the band recorded "Take The High Road" in 1980, the original theme for a long-lived Scottish television series of the same name. During the early '80s, the band intercepted a bootleg recording, titled LIVE IN EDINBURGH, before it could be released, and won the first bootlegging case in Scottish history.

Members of Silly Wizard include, or have included, Dougie Maclean, Gordon Jones, Phil Cunningham, Andy M. Stewart, and John Cunningham.
