Dùn

A traditional song from the outer Hebrides Islands in Scotland, Dùn is one of the lost songs from the evacuated Hebridean archipelago of St Kilda.
It all began when Trevor Morrison sat down at the piano in Edinburgh's Silverlea Care Home in 2006 and began to play. The magic did not go unnoticed.The tunes were simple, naive even, but memorable and with an extraordinary emotional depth. As a 10-year-old child on the west coast island of Bute during World War Two, Trevor had been taught piano by a former resident of St Kilda. His teacher had left the remote archipelago in the outer Hebrides when they were evacuated in 1930. Somehow, a lifetime later and in failing health, Trevor managed to remember the tunes his teacher had taught him. The tunes were subsequently recorded and released as an album "The Lost Songs of St. Kilda."
