about

This field recording of Clootie Well Woods by Munlochy in the Scottish Highlands contains the sound of wind in the trees, a woodland stream, and bird calls. Although the majority of this recording is ideal for sleep and relaxation as well as background sounds, there are also passing cars in the near distance, and a couple of gunshots from a nearby farm or moor.

Both tracks have been expertly edited to be seamlessly loopable, and can be joined together to make one 22 minute long track that is also seamlessly loopable. (Bandcamp will not allow the file that large in a single track).

Clootie Well is an ancient healing well, linking back to Celtic traditions. People dip rags in the well, and hang them on the trees. When the cloth rag ("clootie" in Scots) is rotted, the illness leaves the person affected. The well was, until recently, surrounded by thousands of cloots tied to the trees. Someone has taken them all down now, but they will soon return, as people come from all over the world to visit the healing well.

For more information on Clootie Well, see here: www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/munlochy/clootiewell/index.html

The recordings were made up-river from the well, as the sounds of the stream and trees were more interesting there. Future recordings may well take place at the well (bad pun intended).

Both tracks are uploaded as 48kHz 32 bit WAV files.
