"Cairngorm Connect is delighted to commission Hamish Napier, a local Strathspey composer, to produce this new collection of Scottish tunes dedicated to our woodlands." Cairngorm Connect, Oct 2019.

"As a local musician, I am grateful to Cairngorms Connect for this special opportunity. I grew up right next to Anagach Woods in Grantown and spent many hours of my childhood playing there... all 26 tunes are rooted in traditional Scottish folk dancetune forms, woven in contemporary arrangements and enhanced with field recordings made in the woods. For me this is an album of identity, exploring my native languages, music, folklore and natural environment." Hamish Napier.
