working with hopkins took anderson out of his comfort zone, and the results were all the richer for it. from scotland with love demanded a similarly bold approach. another collaboration, this time with director virginia heath, the album was conceived for a poetic film about scotland, timed to coincide with the commonwealth games, using archive documentary footage from the early twentieth century. the music is far from incidental. in a film without narration or interviews, the songs dictated many of heath’s visual choices and are tasked with much of the heavy lifting .

golly this is good and with a stunning soundtrack from king creosote to accompany the visuals. you dont have to be scottish to appreciate this wonderful film. for anyone with a heart. it really makes you think hard about the hardships prevailed on previous generations and the love and warmth they had for each other. a film that has been made with a real depth of love and affection .

5 stars. from scotland with love evokes everything that is important to me about christmas. it isn’t the expensive presents, posh food, and over the top decorations. it’s about appreciation, for what you have, what you can give, and for where you are. i may have been born, raised and live in england, but scotland has my soul, i have visited many times over the last few years, and i fall in love with it a little more every time. katie has described exquisitely exactly how beautiful and wild it act

kenny anderson' s latest long player has the unenviable task of following 2011' s masterpiece, diamond mine. this is unfair. not least because the latter album drew from over 20 years worth of king creosote material, but also because it enlisted the help of knob twiddler par excellence, john hopkins. so it was with bated breath yet with diluted expectations that i approached from scotland with love. if there is such a thing as a difficult 42nd album - this was bound to be it .
composer jennifer margaret barker and trio vocali3e have set four robert burns love poems to music, using unusual compositional effects to take us on a haunting journey through a woman' s experience of life and love .
and yet. from scotland with love opens with a sublime, abstract eulogy (' something to believe in'), which echoes diamond mine, and the new album' s stunning arrangements (in cahoots with music designer david mcauley, producer paul savage and the leg' s pete harvey) are similarly magical – as are the film' s visual and musical narratives, thanks to the symbiotic collaboration between anderson and heath. and although from scotland with love largely features brand new material, the album, like diamond mine, goes back in time; excavates the king creosote songbook; breathes new life into forgotten songs (' one floor down' was part - written in 1988;' something to believe in' was originally 2001' s' a prairie tale') .
the programme opens with the cheery postcard - style title scrawled on screen: from scotland with love but, despite the chirpy title, it never dips into sentimentality. if you do feel your bottom lip begin to tremble at the sight of ruddy - faced weans floating paper boats, the image might shift to a young girl whose thin legs are encased in steel callipers and you' re swiftly reminded that this is no celebration of the twee. this is a scotland where paper boats existed alongside polio .

from scotland with love is the new album to be released by kenny anderson, known to most as king creosote, under domino records, coming out on the same day as the single, 21 st july. commissioned for the commonwealth games 2014 this album was meant to reflect the less obvious side of scotland to the tourists. on the nib of a complete turnaround with an independence referendum taking place in a couple of months time also, this album will be an interesting sell on a presently topical nation .
something for scots and the lovers of scotland (like us) to appreciate. images of people working and enjoying themselves from the archives which always proved interesting. good soundtrack from king creosote (but a different mix to the cd). it might benefit from sub - titles for the songs to assist the hard of hearing. we will be watching this again from time to time as there is plenty of detail here !

two short, atmospheric instrumentals – “crystal 8s” and “ a prairie tale ” – may stray into more obviously cinematic territory, but from scotland with love is an impressively unified, self - standing piece of work. with the themes of love, loss, war, emigration, work and play worn lightly, the project’s cinematic roots are revealed in other ways, the most obvious being that the warm, melancholic roll of anderson’s music unfolds on a larger scale, as though to fit the dimensions of the cinema screen .

at the other end of the spectrum, “bluebell, cockleshell, 123” freeze - frames a scene of youthful innocence. anderson takes a skipping rhyme, performed by young singers from glasgow’s beatroute arts group, and introduces it to a crisp, acoustic strum. the two merge beautifully, a neat summation of everything the album achieves on a wider scale. from scotland with love successfully and movingly unites past and present, old and new, sight and sound. another diamond. graeme thomson
a few myths to kiss - off before we begin: from scotland with love is not the follow - up to diamond mine, king creosote' s 2011 mercury - nominated collaboration with jon hopkins. kc has released at least two long - players (sure and steadfast; 3 on this island), one collaborative album (experimental batch # 26), a 10 - inch (analogue catalogue) and a seven - inch ep (jokes) since its release, and he has several more lps in the bag. (rumours of his lp back - catalogue numbering 60 fall short of the mark .) nor is this the spiritual sequel to diamond mine. the former was a meticulous seven - plus year endeavour; from scotland with love, by contrast, was written and recorded in a matter of weeks, in the autumn of 2013 .

from scotland with love was created in collaboration with director virginia heath and producer grant keir as an audio - accompaniment to a poetic documentary film of the same name, to be released for the commonwealth games this summer. featuring archive footage but no narration or interview, the film works around themes of love and loss, war, resistance, emigration, work and play, and is driven as much by the music as it is the images. for the first time king creosote found himself being able to write from other people' s perspectives, such as the female characters found in the archive (the' fisher lassies' inspired the moving track cargill, for example) .

i really love katie fforde, she’s one of my favourite chick lit authors of all time. she just writes the loveliest books and i love her romances. last year katie released a christmas short story staying away at christmas and it was lovely, so i was quite pleased to see a new short story available for this christmas called from scotland with love. i avidly dived in as soon as it had downloaded and i really enjoyed it! from scotland with love is a cute, forty - minute read, perfect for the cold wintery nights. it begins with daisy arriving in scotland to get author rory mcallan to sign some bookplates since she messed up his last book signing rather spectacularly. she thinks she’ll pop in, get him to sign the bookplates and be on her way back to london within the hour, but the weather has other ideas, and she ends up snowed in at rory’s little cottage. the last thing she expects is that she’s going to spend her new years’ eve birthing puppies, but she may just enjoy it a lot more than she expects…. i really enjoyed from scotland with love, katie really excells with her christmas short stories, they’re short, sweet and always satisfying. i loved the setting, loved the daisy / rory chemistry, i loved griselda the dog. it was just such a lovely read, there’s not a lot you can say for such a short read, but this was delightful and i did sort of wish it was full - length (that’s always the case – i always want more !). katie is just such an accomplished storyteller and i just wanted to go and buy my own little cottage in scotland and spend my days reading and watching the beautiful scenery, that would be my idea of heaven! bravo, katie, thank you for yet another lovely, christmassy read! i eagerly await next year’s offering !

what a great debut effort! to scotland with love, by patience griffin, is a contemporary romance set in a quaint scottish village. i usually read historical fiction, or historical romances, so i wasn' t sure i would like reading about scotland in the 21st century. well, the author, really drew me in. the characters are totally fleshed out. the heroine is sassy and sarcastic, with a lot of emotional baggage. the sexy film star hero also has a ton of problems. how in the world will these two get t

kc: this is a key thing for me. i know that whole film is people in scotland, that it' s all scottish archive footage, and that the backdrop is scotland – but i worry about that a bit, because i think we' ve got as much right in scotland to comment on art, and life, from everywhere else. and in many ways, the film and music' s not about scotland – it' s about any industrialised nation. none of the details, none of the social fabric, is inherently scottish at all. in my small life, i' ve travelled everywhere, and it' s the same wherever you go .

but probably the best - known english text about scotland is still macbeth. i would suggest there might be a dash of scotophobia in shakespeare, and if your knowledge of scotland came from macbeth, you wouldn' t really want to go there. i think that says a lot about the two cultures, their attitudes to britishness, and to each other .
the brief for what would become “from scotland with love” was broad – a poetic film about scotland using archive footage with a contemporary score but no narration or interviews. virginia began intensive research in the scottish screen archive over the summer of 2013. stunning images from little - known archive films became sequences forming in her mind with themes such as love and loss, war, resistance, work and play. but finding the right composer to enhance the emotional story arcs was vital. virginia had already worked with david mcaulay, music supervisor, on another project. a trusted collaborator, he suggested king creosote for his lyrical ability to tell stories through song. which brought virginia and kenny together at that table in the cafe. “at first i said no, ” says kenny. “i wasn’t sure if my head was in the right place to write songs to order, which i’m bad at. i didn’t think i’d get the job because it’s one thing for a director to pick a song for a film and make a connection. but it’s never the connection that the songwriter originally intended. ”

with a backwards handshake – a precaution from an old accident that nearly left the king one - handed – kenny was in. “being able to take off the kc super suit and write from other perspectives, i’d never done that before. such as writing a song for women characters virginia found in the archive, from a female point of view. so i put my frock and lippie on. ”
i absolutely adored to scotland with love (# 1 in kilts and quilts series) by patience griffin. i am not sure why, but in the past few months i have read several books by different authors that have taken place or include scotland as all or part of the storyline (lucky me). . oh and yes, there is outlander too. however, i am totally smitten with this feel good series with all its ups and downs throughout as the story unfolds. there are many magical and engaging characters in this first book, which takes place in the northern climes of gandiegow, and friends from cait (caitronia) macleod, graham buchanan, cait, s gran. . i also was filled with the promise of the threads of friendship and love that are sown throughout this book, even when faced with sadness and endings, which never really are endings but merely new forks in the road. you will not be disappointed when this book reaches its final page, but think of it as another opportunity to open the next book in this series to see where the connections lead!
