Gaelic singer Mairi MacMillan, from South Uist, sent me this gorgeous song about the skylark, the uiseag, as a symbol of hope 🤍🎶 mairimacmillan.bandcamp.com/track/uiseag...

Apparently "Sunday 4 May is International Dawn Chorus Day and it's celebrated by people around the world who rise early to appreciate this natural symphony." Luckily we are away camping in Achiltibuie and didn't need to leave the tent! Woke up to the curlew 😍

Happy to be invited to give a talk at the fledgling Starling Cafè in #Ullapool on 6th May - a space for ideas, reflection and conversation - on community, hope, belonging, diversity, resilience and resistance. If you are in the baile, tickets here 👉
