Sir James Shand was a Scottish musician from East Wemyss established in the 20th century. He achieved professional recognition for a musical career characterized by traditional Scottish dance music and for his signature tune "Bluebell Polka". Shand achieved professional recognition for a career that began after he learned the accordion and worked as a salesman for a music shop. His recording career began with recordings for the label Beltona between 1935 and 1940. Shand achieved professional recognition for his first broadcast with the ensemble Jimmy Shand and his Band on January 1, 1945. He achieved professional recognition for becoming a full-time musician and performing at the venue Carnegie Hall in New York. His discography included the single "The Bluebell Polka" (1955), which reached the top 20 in the UK charts and was produced by the engineer George Martin. Shand achieved professional recognition for receiving an MBE in 1962 and being knighted in 1999. He achieved professional recognition for recording more tracks than the ensemble the Beatles and the musician Elvis Presley combined.
