What this thread (so far) seems to prove is that songs of place, with that particular tone of longing and nostalgia that make such songs, are a thing in Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales, but not in England; there are a few English songs of place, but they're a) mostly slightly ironic, and b) modern.
Odd, that; as far as I know, all other countries - Ireland, France, Spain, Germany, the US, African countries - have such songs in abundance. Don't know about Scandinavia.
