Gnoss - Keefa Hill

https://absil.one/stretchingskyward.oyd

Filmed in Borthwick, Scotland - this is the music video for our single "Keefa Hill".

This one’s a tune of Graham’s named after the now-deserted isle of Swona, which lies to the South-West of South Ronaldsay where he grew up.

The island was populated from as early 500BC up until the 1970s, when the Rosie family - the last inhabitants - left for the Orkney mainland.
Their parting gift to the isle of Swona was a herd of beef cattle, who after fifty years of self- determination, have survived almost entirely without man’s interference for over five generations, and are now classified as an entirely unique breed in The World Dictionary of Livestock Breeds.

The cows live peacefully alongside Swona’s other varied wildlife as her only remaining islanders.

Huge thanks to Sandy Butler for filming and editing the video:
