Hands Up for Trad asked Rhona to compose a piece with the idea of Su-a and Rhona being the artists who would perform it. Bridge over Little Stream was not the obvious title for this piece as her original inspiration was the Scottish Highlands, and the wildlife and nature in the area. Over time, as the piece developed, Rhona could imagine herself standing on a wooden bridge with the sounds of the water flowing and nature awakening while looking out over the spectacular views of the highland peaks.\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b The film was shot and edited by Martin Forry, sound recorded and mixed by Ali Gillies.
