Her second album, The Fruited Thorn, saw her return to the songs she learned growing up in the Scottish highlands.

Singing in Gaelic, Scots and English she takes the listener on a tour of some of the finest Scots and Irish ballads, arranged in a unique style that is both respectful and innovative.
