This tune came to me after a dream on the night of the shooting of the children and their teacher at Dunblane in 1996. Lammermoor is near Lauder where I lived at the time and it is where St Cuthbert as a boy is reputed to have seen the body of St Aidan taken up to heaven by angels.Cuthberts followers built a church nearby and named it "Childskirk". The church is still there in the little village now called Channelkirk.
