Slow Tree - V I S I T ▲ T I O N S
Slow Tree’s beautifully somnambulant soundscapes are the work of Neil Hamilton Wilkinson and Abi Fry – better known as members of indomitable pastoral-rock titans British Sea Power. Their stunning debut EP as Slow Tree marks the final installment in Lost Map Records’ inaugural V I S I T ▲ T I O N S trilogy – a series of three very special limited-edition releases by three different artists, each written and recorded in residency in a cabin on the label’s home the isle of Eigg, Scotland. Completed over the course of a week in late November 2017, after the pair made the short trip over from their home on the nearby Isle of Skye, Neil and Abi’s songs capture the drawing light and darkened heavens of the late autumn mists under which they were recorded. Across four tracks of cinematic dream-folk, Slow Tree manipulate the natural reverb of the island’s caves, allowing hushed vocals, ethereal piano and sweeping viola to glide alongside the strains of swirling birds in song. “Let’s go on a journey to the last island of beauty.”
THE FINAL INSTALLMENT IN A FIRST SET OF THREE LIMITED-EDITION VINYL AND DIGITAL EP RELEASES, WRITTEN AND RECORDED IN RESIDENCY ON THE ISLE OF EIGG, SCOTLAND. TO FIND OUT MORE VISIT:

Mallaig; is a port in Lochaber, on the west coast of the Highlands of Scotland. The local railway station, Mallaig, is the terminus of the West Highland railway line, completed in 1901, and the town is linked to Fort William by the A830 road – the Road to the Isles.
The village of Mallaig was founded in the 1840s, when Lord Lovat, owner of North Morar Estate, divided up the farm of Mallaigvaig into seventeen parcels of land and encouraged his tenants to move to the western part of the peninsula and turn to fishing as a way of life. The population and local economy expanded rapidly in the 20th century with the arrival of the railway. Ferries operated by Caledonian MacBrayne and Bruce Watt Sea Cruises sail from the port to Armadale on the Isle of Skye, Inverie in Knoydart, and the isles of Rùm, Eigg, Muck, and Canna. Mallaig is the main commercial fishing port on the West Coast of Scotland, and during the 1960s was the busiest herring port in Europe.
Mallaig prided itself at that time on its famous traditionally smoked kippers, but today only one traditional smokehouse remains, Jaffy's and Sons. Mallaig and the surrounding area is a popular area for holidays. The majority of the community speaks English, with a minority of residents speaking both English and Gaelic. In addition, traditional Gaelic is still taught in the school to pupils who choose to learn the language.
Mallaig has several restaurants, cafes, and takeaways along with a community-run swimming pool and leisure centre. The main focus is on the tourist trade during the summer, however some facilities are open all year round, including the swimming pool. Mallaig has three hotels, lots of self-catering accommodation and several guest houses.
There are two banks and three pubs. The compact village centre is close to the harbour and railway station, with residential areas beyond to the south and east of the harbour. Most of the retail premises are in the main street, or on Davies Brae, which runs south from the village centre. The swimming pool is at the high point of the village on Fank Brae.
There are two minimarkets, and gift shops. An art gallery sells work by local artists. There is a small bookshop A heritage centre next to the railway station is based around old photographs of the locality, but as Mallaig has only existed during the age of photography this offers a good introduction to the history and heritage of the locality. There are Roman Catholic and Church of Scotland churches, and also a Fishermen's Mission facility run by the Royal National Mission to Deep Sea Fishermen. There is a small petrol station with restricted opening times near the harbour.
The West Highland Line links Mallaig railway station by rail to Fort William, Oban and Glasgow. The line was voted the top rail journey in the world by readers of independent travel magazine Wanderlust in 2009, ahead of the iconic Trans-Siberian and the Cuzco to Machu Picchu line in Peru. The four-hour trip to Dumbarton Central railway station passes through spectacular scenery including seascapes, lochsides, mountain and moorland terrain, and offers views of Loch Lomond, the Gare Loch, Rannoch Moor, Ben Nevis, Glenfinnan and Glen Shiel, and Loch Eil. The line also runs along the Clyde between Helensburgh and Glasgow and offers views across the estuary.
Mallaig is an important ferry port with regular Caledonian MacBrayne ferry services to Armadale on the Isle of Skye, a thirty-minute sailing. They also run a daily service to the Small Isles of Canna, Rùm, Eigg and Muck, although the timetable and itinerary differ from day to day. Calmac also offers a non-landing ticket which allows visitors to cruise the Small Isles. In addition, a local ferry service owned by former lifeboatman Bruce Watt sails daily to Inverie in Knoydart, a very remote village, and also calls by prior arrangement at Tarbet in Morar, a location that is only accessible by sea. This service also offers a non-landing cruise through scenic Loch Nevis.

Well certainly if you're the a vicar of a parish then you have people to care for. There are 150 people on the Island, so I have them to care for. But actually there are half million visiting the Island every year so there is a lot to do. We have had two schools here, we have had two pilgrimage groups here today, we have had a group of prison officers here today. I mean it all happens here. It's a lovely place for people to come. It's got an inspiration about it, so I guess really we have just got a lot that is privileged to share with other people.

Well we don't quite know where the first people where. There was a lot of trading going on here perhaps before Aidan came here. But St Aidan founded the monastery here. He cam from Scotland, he came from Iona (Island of Scotland). And Iona of course is an island, so it's very much a home here for him. And he established a monastery and a small school, and the evangelism of the north of England and right into the south of England as well all came from Holy Island.

Well this is the 'Cafe Bean Goose' Holy Island. We are an organic, fair trade and environmentally friendly caf�, as much as we can be. We have a lot of visitors to Holy Island and the kind of visitors that come to Holy Island are the ones that care about the environment so maybe that contributes to our busyness.

Samso: The green island | Earthrise
Samso, an island off the east coast of Denmark and nestled in the Kattegat Sea, is home to a population of 4,000 people committed to living a green life, using and producing only 100 percent renewable energy. In 1997, the Danish government organised a contest to create a model community for renewable energy; the Samso community came together and won that contest.
The beginning of it was very interesting. It was a top-down decision. We had a very ambitious minister of the environment and he announced that Denmark would cut down 21 percent of the present CO2 emission, recalls Soren Hermansen, head of the Samso Energy and Environmental Organisation.
I was the first person that was hired to do this project, and I remember the feeling that I was sitting down in the office and I plugged in the telephone and I thought, 'Gosh, how are we going to do this?'
The community has come a long way since then, working together to achieve some outstanding results. The islanders now boast a carbon footprint of negative 12 tonnes per person per year.
People who didn't really speak to each other beforehand, got together and talked to each other and had a common goal to aim for, says one local who invested in one of the windmills.
A whole range of environmentally friendly practices have been initiated to serve the whole community. The difference here, compared with anywhere else, is that the people of the island completely own its own energy supplies, as opposed to relying on big companies.
Similarly, the search for eco-friendly sources at a grassroots level meant that residents came up with some ingenious solutions. One of the farmers on the island uses straw to fuel a system that allows locals to spend 40 percent less on their heating bills than they used to.
Burning straw is cleaner than burning oil, it's very green, says Arne Krimmer Jensen, director of the district heating plant. Two and a half kilograms of straw would be the same as burning one litre of oil.
The community is now putting energy into the Danish national grid and are acting as an adviser to other island communities around the world. Samso also receives 5,000 energy tourists per year and have set up an Energy Academy to advise different nations on their energy schemes.
Samso island's success at creating not only a green society but a green economy hasn't been lost on the rest of the world, either.
I think everybody has some kind of intuition that this is the way to go. 'This is where we want to be in the future' [they say]. 'How do we do it? If they can do it here on this little insignificant island, we can do it everywhere', Hermansen says.
Since the start of the project, Hermansen and his colleagues have advised 29 countries.

earthrise - Building Better Cities
Already, half the world's population live in cities and, by 2050 the figure will increase to two-thirds, or about 6 billion people. The environmental impact is already extensive.
As the global population expands so too do pollution and pressure on resources.
earthrise travels to Colombia and Singapore to meet some of the people who are finding ways to meet growing demand while also making our cities more sustainable.
Colombia's Lego Homes
Over 300 million tonnes of plastic is produced every year, yet just a fraction of this is recycled. Most of the waste usually ends up in landfills, waterways and oceans.
However, one enterprise in Colombia has found a novel way of using the normally discarded waste. Conceptos Plasticos, founded by architect Oscar Mendez, collects recyclable plastic material, melts it down and moulds it into bricks which are then used to build houses for the local community.
The hope is that using plastic to build homes will be the answer to both recycling and housing shortages.
If we use just 2 per cent of the waste plastic in the world we can change the lives of millions of people. We can finish the housing shortage in Latin America in just 10 years, says Mendez.
Juliana Schatz heads to Bogota to see how Conceptos Plasticos builds these homes out of discarded waste.
Singapore: Asia's Greenest City
Dubbed Asia's greenest city, Singapore has long favoured innovative environmentally-friendly ideas. However, challenges from rapid urbanisation, sea level rise and a changing climate are pushing planners and policy makers to find innovative ways of coping with the pressures of growing demand.
From vertical farms to living buildings, Singapore is on the cutting edge of environmentally sustainable urban solutions.
