This is the tragic story of the 51st Highland Division’s encirclement and capture at St Valery en Caux in Northern France in June 1940.
I grew up in Kildonan Strath, Sutherland, where I loved the psalms and hymns and the old folk songs my father had learned from his drover grand uncle.Went on to Cash, the Corries and the Clancys, Tom Paxton and Dylan. Started playing guitar and writing songs in my teens, but only started recording this century with my rock band sons. Either solo or with my band, I’ve played all over Scotland.
