In this album Roddy pays tribute to places and people he holds affection for in both his native Borders and Northumberland, and also in the West Highlands where part of his heart will ever be, for it is here that he was inspired to play music when he was a young boy, and Highland Ceilidh music was planted in his heart by the wonderful musicians in Moidart all these years ago.
