John  and Margaret Macleod were at the heart of Scotland’s music making throughout their 60-year marriage.

When Margaret died two weeks ago, John arranged for this stunning chorus of his to be sung as the outgoing music at the Cathedral.

Just listen. I’m not sure if I’ve heard such beauty since Chichester Psalms.
