“Lyrics and musical arrangements crackle with wide-eyed curiosity.” Jude Rogers, The Guardian
Written during residencies on the Isle of Eigg, the Isle of Mull and Sanday in Orkney, Swilkie is rooted in place and story. Through poetic songs and contemplative melodies, Lane explores ecology, folklore and our evolving relationship with the sea — from basking sharks and curlews to lighthouses, lichen and vanishing islands.
Recorded in a boathouse on Scotland’s west coast, the album carries the quiet presence of the shoreline itself, with subtle guitar, droning shruti box and beautifully layered arrangements supporting Lane’s distinctive, ethereal voice. She is joined by an exceptional ensemble of musicians, bringing warmth, depth and texture to the live show.
Praised for its atmosphere, musicianship and emotional resonance, Swilkie offers a spellbinding, reflective concert experience — intimate, thoughtful and deeply connected to landscape and community.
“In Swilkie, she has created an album that celebrates the link between community, ecology and landscape, and calls for us all to recognise its importance.” — KLOF Mag (2025)

Welcome to Birnam Arts, a boutique multi-purpose arts, conferencing and entertainment venue.
Pop in to the Foyer Cafe for breakfast, grab a delicious coffee with a selection of our homemade baking or enjoy a light lunch whilst browsing on the free WiFi. Wander upstairs to view the latest of our monthly art exhibitions before visiting the world of Beatrix Potter, or the Gift Shop to purchase a special gift for your loved ones or yourself!
The comfortable and aesthetically pleasing cafe seating attracted praise and provided ideal places for small groups to gather at the tables, enjoying excellent food and drinks! Visitors remarked upon your new signage, now so much easier to navigate to the various rooms within the venue.
