In 1925 the publication of Grieg-Keith's Last Leaves of Traditional Ballads and Ballad Airs provided the occasion for much lamenting over the imminent demise of Scots folksong. Hamish Henderson later noted that these had proved to be only "the last leaves of a season" and was delighted to find there were "new leaves on the old branches".

This album consists mainly of traditional song and one set of tunes but there are also two excellent songs by Karine, another by Davy Steele and one from the pen of the late Roy Williamson. Producer Davy Steele.

Line up:
Karine Polwart (guitars & bouzouki)
Mark Dunlop (bodhran & whistle)
Kit Patterson (fiddle, mandolin & guitar)
Steve Byrne (bouzouki & guitar)
