Britain’s leading baritone, and a wonderfully engaging recitalist, begins his epic traversal of the three great song cycles by Schubert in acclaimed new English translations by Jeremy Sams. The Fair Maid of the Mill was the first to be composed, its twenty songs taking a young miller on a journey through a vast emotional landscape from happiness to despair. All of life is contained in these marvellous songs, the subtleties of their meaning superbly conveyed in Sams’s translations.

'The biggest gain is Roderick Williams’s fabulous delivery and his beautiful, creamy voice – which I can never get too much of – supported beautifully again by Christopher Glynn'

Dirleton Kirk, Dirleton

Dirleton is one of the most picturesque of East Lothian's many beautiful villages, and its church, Dirleton Kirk, dedicated to St Andrew, is a real gem.

Built in 1612 to replace the parish church along the coast at Gullane which was continually being inundated by sand, this long, low-eaved church with its square, gothic-topped tower is built of warm pink sandstone.

Its striking Archerfield Aisle (1664) is Scotland's earliest example of neo-classical architecture. Inside, the mellow light filters through some especially fine stained glass.
