Amy writes: I’ve had a lot of help on this one and it’s so nice to have members of the island community feature in both audio and video. Thank you to the amazing Archie McColl for the quad bike tour of his croft. Thank you to Arthur Cross, our neighbour , for letting me film his unique way of gathering sheep on his mountain e-bike and for his vocals;  Thanks to Jennifer Baker for lending me her e-bike  without which I could not have kept up with Arthur and the dugs (Tam, Misty, Fly & Tweed). Thank you to my friends Mairi Campbell for her earthy vocals and to Julia Fayngruen for all her help with video editing for ‘Cycles’ .All drone footage was captured and edited by Liam Crossan Hopkins .
Thank you so much to Sarah McWhinney for her magical cello and to Cameron Ross McLellan for bringing da beats. Thank you Stevie Cossar for your sound wizardry  and to Chris Blackmore of Holy Smokes Records for all things PR. This project is funded by Creative Scotland.
I think the island is beautiful in every season but I’m really excited to share with the wild Winter side . You can also access the recording here:
