Bruce Watson

Bruce William Watson (born March 11, 1961) is a Canadian-born Scottish guitarist, best known for being a member of Big Country. He moved with his family to Scotland as an infant. He grew up in the Dunfermline area nearby to Stuart Adamson, He had also been a lead guitarist of several Fife-based bands including the Delinquents and Eurosect. It was during this time, that Watson first met Stuart Adamson, as the Delinquents acted as a support act for The Skids in their early days. One of Watson's bandmates Raymond Davidson was the brother of Sandra Davidson, Adamson's future wife.

Watson and Adamson were the two founding members of Big Country in summer 1981, after Adamson departed The Skids. After several lineup changes, the pair were joined by Tony Butler and Mark Brzezicki in early 1982, and the band went on to have considerable success.
