Five celebrated writers from around Scotland sit at their nearest window and share, in their own language or dialect, what they can see and how it makes them feel about their homeland.

This immersive audio collage takes us on a tour of modern Scotland's plurality of languages, dialects and cultures.

Niall Campbell of Hebridean South Uist lets his eyes scan the waters of his island, and his mind wander beneath the waves. He considers, in English, the Norse influence in the naming of his surroundings.

At a window in Glasgow's southside, Rahat Zahid describes, in Urdu, the myriad people and architecture that make up the multicultural community she is so grateful for.

It鈥檚 raining where Len Pennie is, in Fife. As the water trickles down her window, she considers, in Scots, the view outside and the relationship she forged with it while studying.

Peter MacKay, in his native Gaelic, looks out over an Edinburgh cityscape, and asks what changes prominent historical figures brought about, and how they鈥檝e left their mark on the capital today.

In the Doric dialect of north east Scotland, Mae Diansangu shares a snapshot of life from her window overlooking Aberdeen, Scotland's 'granite city'.
