为庆祝麦卡伦 200 周年，备受尊敬的英国创作型歌手 Emeli Sandé 与 Ollie Green 共同创作了名为 "Roots "的凄美配乐。 这项工作是对我们的传统、我们扎根于大自然、手工艺和社区的艺术庆祝。
当我们走过两个世纪，展望未来，"时间会带来变化，但我们的根不会变 "这句歌词完美地诠释了麦卡伦的根如何超越时间。
根
在麦卡伦，我们根深叶茂。 自 1824 年以来，我们一直在复活节埃尔奇斯进行蒸馏，如今我们的精神家园和蒸馏厂都在这里蓬勃发展。 我们的故事是一个循序渐进的故事，在从过去到现在再到未来的过程中，我们拥抱时间，保持耐心。
我们的威士忌酿造师是我们传统的守护者，他们精心熟化前辈们蒸馏的威士忌，酿造出今天的麦卡伦威士忌，同时为后代保存酒桶。 受自然世界的启发，我们在所有工作中都崇尚精湛的技艺和工艺。 我们坚定不移的根基--我们的 DNA、核心价值观以及决定我们命运的地方--将我们紧密联系在一起，并塑造了今天的麦卡伦。
"我在阿伯丁郡长大，那里距离麦卡伦庄园大约一小时车程。 苏格兰的这个地区就是我的家，它将永远是我的归宿，是我扎根的地方。

Origins of The International Festival
The original festival. The one that started it all in 1947, the igniting spark which established Edinburgh as the world’s Festival City.
Over the last 76 years the International Festival has flourished, deepening their commitment to artistic excellence and cultural curiosity. Meanwhile, sister festivals have grown up around them, each of them contributing to the atmosphere of unparalleled excitement that transforms Edinburgh every summer.
Opening Event: Where to begin
To ignite the festival season, Scotland’s heritage and mythology converge in a hypnotic experience, transforming an iconic Edinburgh location into the epicentre of creative power. Gather with us to discover and share in a new ritual, hear a new myth, and play your part in summoning up the festival spirit that courses through the city every August.
As the sun sets, George Heriot’s grounds come alive with the flicker of flames. Be guided through by the artisans as they feed the fires and raise a toast. Then, witness the story of a hidden world, buried deep in the vaults and tunnels beneath our feet.
Presented by the Edinburgh International Festival and created by Pinwheel, Opening Event: Where to Begin blends immersive installation, performance, spectacular video projection and captivating storytelling. We invite audiences to step into a transcendent realm that explores our past, present and future, inspired by Scotland's history, mythology and landscape.
This event has now passed.
