This landscape carries a cultural memory of lives once lived—of reivers, drovers, lovers and otherworldly creatures. To hear again the songs that describe the sun on the river or the wind from the heights—to recall the grief and love that happened here—is to heed some of the human story that binds us to this place and those who walked before us.


This episode features Gaelic love songs, lively pipe jigs, beautiful local poetry set to a newly composed melody, tales of the McIntosh clan, haunting Jacobite laments, a traditional spinning song, a new tune for the last wolf and a beautiful slow air for the river.
