Shared within this podcast is some of the rich social and ecological history to be found in place names, poetry, story and song. It traces the course of the river from where it rises high in the hills of the Monadh Liath and down through Srath Èirinn (Strathdearn) to where the river’s flow is reigned at Na Srianabh (the bridles), known locally as The Streens.

Introduction and Placenames
This episode introduces the idea of human ecology and the significance of cultural memory. Gaelic, like all languages long of a place, has so much to say about seeing, naming and experiencing the natural world. It can help us remember, offering us a view of the world that can focus our attention and deepen our sense of place, inviting us to consider other ways of seeing.This podcast was produced by Raghnaid Sandilands and Mairi McFadyen in collaboration with the Findhorn Watershed Initiative - a multi-generational vision to restore a mosaic of nature rich habitats, grow a local culture of nature connection and enable a thriving nature-positive economy for the people and places of the River Findhorn’s watershed area, from the Monadhliath Mountains to the Moray Firth.
