Ae Fond Kiss: Burns

This arrangement of Robert Burns' Ae Fond Kiss was written specially for Voskresenije by John McIntosh, who was present at this performance in Holy Trinity Scottish Episcopal Church, Dunoon,  where he is the organist. The pictures accompanying the song were taken in and around the church and in the surrounding area of Argyll.
