8 / 10

A love letter to Scotland from one of its finest musical exports.

A record which triumphs whether you’re a Scot or not.

Released to coincide with the July 2014 Glasgow Commonwealth Games, From Scotland with Love is more than another pet project by prolific Scottish indie folksinger King Creosote (Kenny Anderson).

Written to soundtrack the archive-compiled documentary of the same name, From Scotland With Love is equally effective in cut-down, re-ordered album form.
