Released on June 1, 2006, under the prestigious Chandos label, this album showcases MacMillan's exceptional compositional skills and his ability to blend traditional Scottish influences with contemporary classical music.
The album is divided into two main works: "A Scotch Bestiary" and the "Piano Concerto No. 2." "A Scotch Bestiary" is a fascinating exploration of Scottish folklore and wildlife, presented in a series of vivid musical portraits. This work is divided into two parts, "Caged" and "Uncaged," each offering a unique perspective on the natural world.

The choral arrangements are particularly noteworthy, showcasing the beauty and versatility of the human voice. The album's duration of 1 hour and 3 minutes ensures a comprehensive and immersive listening experience.
