Hey @cerysmatthews.bsky.social , you mentioned curlews again on Sunday. This is a lovely curlew-mentioning song ('Leavin' Loch Leven') from Scottish musician Beth Malcolm's 2023 album 'Kissed and Cried' (bethmalcolm.bandcamp.com/album/kissed...).

Scotland's Missing Forests 120k views in a week. Wonder if Scotgov gets the message. Barren-looking land, even overgrazed & burnt grouse moors, can support natural woodland & biodiversity. This is the story of two pals who went where politicians fear to tread www.youtube.com/watch?v=MuTV...

Very few folk turned out to protest about immigration in Dundee today but there were lots of us there to counter them just in case. We were a strong friendly crowd, singing and chanting all afternoon, reclaiming the saltire and welcoming refugees 🏴🎶

Did a section of the Dundee Green Circular on Saturday (about 12 miles anticlockwise, on foot not bike) as part of my #KiltwalkDundee prep. Lots to see along the Dighty Burn and beyond 📷

Tree songs for @cerysmatthews.bsky.social
How about 'Niel Gow's Apprentice' by the marvellous Michael Marra? Mentions 'the fiddle tree' in Dunkeld (Burns used Gow's tunes..). Others have released versions of Marra's song (incl. Fairport Convention).

With so much negativity in the world it was many happy breaths of positivity to finally witness the Spell Songs project live on stage at the weekend. Beautiful music, lovely people, all the good tears. And "let the raven call you home" to fade... 🎶 🦊
