Our project has a title which lends itself to the Community of Upper Nithsdale.
This title was inspired by the first line of a song written by Robert Burns as he rode towards Sanquhar from his home at Ellisland further down the valley, and was first sung in Whigham's Inn in the High Street of Sanquhar.
" Of A’ the Airts the wind can blaw.. I dearly lo' the West."
'Airts' in this case means 'places', however airt is also used in many parts of Scotland for 'Art' so……… 'All the Arts' or "A' the Airts"
