//•HAAR Track Insights•// Lammas Fair On 16th August 1809, over a hundred people boarded a boat from Meikle Ferry to Ferry Point to attend the Lammas Fair in Tain. It sank shortly after leaving the shore with only 12 survivors. Such a loss of life was keenly felt <

Cianalas has caught me.

//• HAAR Track Insights • // North-light This is an old term used in the north for the aurora borealis / northern lights. Some of the best vantage points to see ‘north-light’ are along our coasts, with huge horizons. During the writing of this music we were lucky to have <

For the next little while I’m going to be photographing people round Scotland’s coast. If you live on the coast and the sea is a big part of your life/work/dreams, or know someone coastal with a story to tell relating to the sea and its past/present/future, let me know. Thanks!

One of my favourite things about working with Lauren for the visuals on her album was learning the history behind the tracks and their locations! What a beautiful tune 💙

@blue24yes @Laurenmaccoll1 Thank you!! It was a lovely piece to make! ☺️

Absolutely loved creating the visuals for this beautiful album 😍
