Recordist's notes

A document of a changing soundscape. Hopefully this glen will settle back to a more undisturbed state as the Loch Arkaig fish farm is scheduled to close in April 2025. The Norwegian salmon farmer Mowi Scotland have announced the closure after failing to agree a lease extension with local authorities following sustainability concerns.
