Mae Muller has described Scotland as a “place dear to my heart”.The London-born singer often escapes north and even has a tattoo of a Tunnock’s Teacake on her left leg.“That’s how much I love them,” she laughed. “I love coming to Scotland.

You guys know how to party for sure.“I used to do New Year’s Eve in Edinburgh. I’ve done it three or four times. I love walking up Calton Hill.

It’s such a beautiful place.”While Mae doesn’t have Scots roots she and her mum, Nicola Jackson, visit Scotland regularly.The singer said: “It’s a stunning, fun place and I was there recently for my mum’s birthday in January.“We just wanted an excuse to go away and have a little girl’s trip.”Mae, 26, can’t wait to be back in Scotland again soon when she has a meet and greet event at Church, Dundee, tomorrow, with a Q&A and acoustic performances of songs from her debut album, Sorry, I’m Late which is out now.She said: “I’ve been to Glasgow a bunch of times on tour and love it but it’s nice to go somewhere different.”Chatting via Zoom, Mae has bounced back after the bitter blow of coming second last in the Eurovision voting for her UK entry, I Wrote A Song.She admitted: “I gave myself a day to be disappointed and to feel like my life was over and then I said, ‘Cool, we move on to the next thing’ because that’s how I survive.”Many would have crumbled and gone to live in a cave for a year after such a public letdown.

Mae was also trolled on social media after the event held in Liverpool instead of Ukraine, which won in 2022.Mae explained how she shrugged off the dismay.She said: “I’m not a good dweller.
