A beautiful song by @juliefowlis.bsky.social , the video filmed at Loch Brora - where we scattered my sisters ashes several years ago. Its a lovely peaceful spot that Morag always loved.

Thanks Nigel 💫

Julie Fowlis @juliefowlis.bsky.social · Mar 13

All our rural communities must raise their voices together.

Julie Fowlis @juliefowlis.bsky.social · Mar 13

I’m so sorry for your loss Ally.

And that place is beautiful and special indeed ❤️

I’m sorry that our elected representatives don’t see it that way. Mass environmental vandalism across the highlands in the name of green energy. It’s desperate.

Head is still spinning but I wanted to to thank all of you who came to our shows last week and who sent kind messages 💜 and to the invisible (and amazing) team who made it possible. Thank you all so much 💫

Grateful too for this ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ review today
