The McCartney sisters’ love of Scotland stems from their memories of spring days in the green fields at the family farm in the Scottish countryside, awash with colour as the days grow longer.

They describe nature as both energising and serene, contrasting qualities rekindled by this collaboration. This affinity with the land inspires joyful memories of family, sisterhood and community.
