Songs of Scotland is a 1955 album by Jo Stafford. It was released on January 1, 1955 on the Columbia label and features Stafford backed by the Paul Weston Orchestra. The lyrics are all taken from traditional Scottish poetry, many from the work of Robert Burns, with the music written by Alton Rinker.[2][3][4]

Stafford and Weston re-joined Capitol Records in 1961.[5] The original Columbia Records issue of this album contained only six tracks. Stafford and Weston re-recorded the original tracks of the album in 1961 and then added six more to the Capitol version of the album.[6] The album was later released by Weston and Stafford's own record label, Corinthian.
