I was just out in #StKilda with some friends for a #Midsumma event, near corner of Inkerman St and Greeves St. Police were out and we heard gunshots fired!

Made it home safe in an Uber, but our bar staff were warning everyone to be careful. Hope all is okay now.

We revisit Alasdair Roberts and Robin Robertson’s ‘Hirta Songs’, inspired by the people, landscape and history of the remote Scottish archipelago of St Kilda. The album also featured Robin Williamson of the Incredible String Band and Scottish harpist Corrina Hewat. #folk #folkmusic #scottishfolk #stkilda https://www.folkradio.co.uk/2023/07/revisited-alasdair-roberts-robin-robertson-hirta-songs/
