My grandad Iain Sutherland was an acclaimed songwriter in the Sutherland Brothers, well known for 'Sailing', 'Arms of Mary' and more.

During his life he also wrote poems which captured his fascination with the sea. This is a quote from one of them which I read last summer, on a trip to Scotland:

'We are here forever, the rocks and the sand.
Why are you leaving?
Where do you go?'

These words, combined with missing Grandad like crazy and being in his favourite place, inspired me to start writing a song once I got home...'here forever, here to stay...'

This song is for him. But if you're hoping and searching too, come and stand with me on The Shore.
