Come and enjoy a woodland walk through history! Queen Mary's Mount, near Carberry, was the site of the armed confrontation that ended the reign of Mary Queen of Scots, on 15 June, 1567. Follow this Echo, and I'll tell you all about it. Download the Echo at home, and then look for the way into the woods on the B6414 road between Crossgatehall and Elphinstone. Start the Echo there and it will help you to find it. It can be quite muddy in these woods after rain, so you should wear appropriate footwear........ Carberry Hill, once the home of the Elphinstone family, is now managed by the Buccleuch Estate. The images, on the cover of this Collection, are of Mary, with Lord Bothwell on the right. On the left is a medallion celebrating her marriage to Lord Darnley. All these images are reproduced by permission of the Scottish National Portrait Gallery.

A remote collaboration between two artists in Cornwall, England, and rural Aberdeenshire in Scotland. Initially based around the notions of parenthood, whilst also considering personal, geographical and political space. Composition naturally began to accommodate responses to the pandemic as the album was written during the COVID19 lockdown of 2020. The first five tracks use only the voice and audio production techniques, field recordings, and radio excerpts, whilst the final track contains additional instrumentation.

This short stroll around the town beginning and ending in the same place St Mary’s quad offers a different perspective on features many walk past frequently, but which few notice. Part historical, part theological, it offers a personal philosophical reflection on the significance and possible continued relevance of some of these time-based features of this ancient town and its turbulent history.
