Sweet sounds are tripping down a potholed lane in Glasgow s wealthy west end.
It is the music of the clarsach, the old Gaelic harp, which ripples over the air and down the ages.
From Viking raids and Wars of Independence, to Union and Enlightenment, Empire and oil, Scotland has sung many songs.
Now, says Sophie Rocks, leader of clarsach group The Willow Trio who are rehearsing in a garage studio, it s time for a new tune.
She reckons the divide between Scotland and England, is more prominent now than when she, and a majority of her fellow Scots, opposed independence in 2014.

“Cheers” star Kirstie Alley finally has something to celebrate in Los Feliz, where she sold her Italianate villa of two decades for $7.8 million.
The deal wraps up a years-long effort for the actress of “Drop Dead Gorgeous” and “Veronica’s Closet” fame. Records show she first sought about $12 million for the property in 2018 and trimmed the price three more times over the years before finding a buyer.
Even a few million down from her original goal, she’s still walking away with a profit of nearly $5 million after paying $3 million for the home in 2000. 1/21 2/21 3/21 4/21 5/21 6/21 7/21 8/21 9/21 10/21 11/21 12/21 13/21 14/21 15/21 16/21 17/21 18/21 19/21 20/21 21/21
