The 'Badenoch - The Storylands' project:

Hamish has produced a series of tales, legends and historical stories for Badenoch Heritage & the Cairngorms National Park, for the new Badenoch The Storylands App. Over 6 months in the making, Hamish researched, wrote and narrated 18 local stories. These will be released as three spoken word albums, Volume I (Folk Tales), Volume II (People) and Volume III (History). Each story incorporates music from Hamish's Strathspey Trilogy as the soundtrack, and features several local voice actors from Badenoch & Strathspey.
