Immortal Memory

Immortal Memory Book 43

26/05/2009

Robert Burns was at the centre point of two very different Scottish traditions. Januslike, he had two faces. With the first, he looked back to the medieval Scottish Makars, like Dunbar, Barbour and Henderson, and with the second, he simultaneously looked forward to the romantic poets of the mid-nineteenth century, like Byron, Coleridge, Wordsworth and Shelley.

Donnie Munro

Donnie Munro

17/02/2009

Donnie Munro is not only Scotland’s best-known singer, he also happens to be one of the country’s most talented song writers and there’s certainly plenty of evidence of that in his latest work. Over the last few years the former Runrig lead singer, who is now a highly acclaimed soloist and songwriter in his own right, has been exploring the great themes that have helped shape Scottish society: the sense of people and of place; the permanence of the landscape, set against the changes in the lives of the people, the language, culture and history; the transience of movement, migration and displacement; the ties of family, the strength of culture; the iconic symbol of the sea and of great journeys.

Return of the Native

21/11/2008

John Cairney has left an indelible mark on the Scottish psyche. For as long as anyone can remember, the veteran actor, now in his 78th year, has been regarded as the living embodiment of Robert Burns, so much so that year after year, he has been called home by popular demand, to appear in concert as the Bard, to recite his works, and to pay tribute to his Immortal Memory.

Hamish MacInnes

Hamish MacInnes

14/11/2008

It is four in the morning in Glencoe and in the utter darkness the towering, snow-covered mountains loom like a huddle of brooding giants silently watching over the cloud-veiled rock faces and plunging gullies of what must surely be Scotland’s most spectacular Highland landscape. In the entire glen, light shines from only one solitary house, Tigh A’Voulin, a lovely white-washed cottage by a lochan, home to the country’s most famous mountaineer, Hamish MacInnes.
