The traditional songs of Scotland hold a special magic for me.
I was lucky to grow up surrounded by songs and now I'm thrilled to be sharing them with others.
I live in the Scottish Highlands, not far from Inverness where I was born and grew up and explored more of the academic side of Scottish traditions when I was at the School of Scottish Studies in Edinburgh University.
Now I do a lot of teaching at feisean, evening classes, in schools and at festivals and try to keep it informal and active.
I have 3 solo albums, 'kist o dreams' of lullabies from Scottish tradition, 'Bairn's Kist' of children's dandling songs, action songs and singing games and the new release 'Haunting', a double album with one CD of songs celebrating the eerie otherworld of Scottish supernatural and a second CD of stories associated with the songs.
