Kirsty Law, Clerk Saunders

Scots singer Kirsty Law singing the Border Ballad 'Clerk Saunders' inside the Summerhouse, Old Melrose, in the Scottish Borders. Recorded in September 2013, this well known Border Ballad is taken back into the heart of the environment from which it was produced, sung and eventually written. The Summerhouse at Old Melrose lies directly opposite Scott's View. The piece explores the song in the context of the resonance of the architecture of the historic building. Recorded by James Wyness for 'Working the Tweed', an arts-science collaboration around the River Tweed catchment, supported by Creative Scotland for Year of Natural Scotland 2013. www.workingthetweed.co.uk
