NO WAY OF KNOWING. Well there isn't, is there?

MARY EAGLESHAM/NAE DISH DONALDSON. Struan wrote Mary Eaglesham both for his granny and sister in law, both of whom share the same name. The second tune was written for Craig Donaldson our monitor engineer who, after having called out the television repair man, discovered the reason he couldn't get a picture on his telly was due to the fact that someone had nicked his satellite dish!

IRMA'S SONG. Irma is a young Bosnian girl who was badly injured in the conflicts earlier this year. No one seemed to want to do anything for her, eventually she was flown to Britain and managed to survive. She then disappeared from our newspapers and television screens so I can only hope she's alright.

NO TIE UPS. Scottish fishermen are desperately trying to make a living while the government are constantly succeeding in making it increasingly difficult for them to do so.

RODDY McCOURT. The title here is self explanatory. Not only was Roddy a good friend, but also a very fine piper.

NO PLACE FOR SORROW. Another song of optimism, perhaps.

REASONS. again, a tale of relationships and their strange twists and turns.

THE FISHERMAN. This one is a self explanatory. I could never fathom out the pleasure of standing on a loch side for six hours and going home empty handed, but, as they say, each to their own.

IT DOESN'T SEEM QUITE RIGHT. Another wee protest song.

ANDREW HUNTER'S. This was written for our good friend, Andrew Hunter, possibly the most accident prone gent in the world!

THE STREETS OF EVANTON. Evanton is the village in Easter-Ross where Struan lives, about four miles along the road from Ivan. A place where some grand times have been had.
