The Shadow Lawn

Dinnae Gae Doon the Watter


A haunting collection of water-themed folk tales from Scotland


The Shadow Lawn presents Dinnae Gae Doon the Watter, a collection of haunting folk tales that weave together the mysteries of Scotland's waters. Each track tells a story of the deep, from ancient legends to modern-day encounters with the unknown.

Drawing inspiration from traditional Scottish folk music and contemporary acoustic arrangements, this EP takes listeners on a journey through misty lochs, rushing rivers, and the dark depths of the sea.
