The audio begins with the distant, yet distinct, sound of dogs barking. It's a symphony of different breeds, each contributing their unique voice to the cacophony. Amidst the chorus of canines, the unmistakable timbre of a Schnitzer breed stands out, its bold bark echoing through the air. As the barking continues, a new sound slowly begins to rise. The tolling of St. Nicholas Kirk's carillon bells start to chime in, their resonant peals echoing through the streets of Aberdeen. Each note seems to dance on the wind, a hauntingly beautiful melody that adds a layer of solemnity to the otherwise lively scene. As the carillon plays on, it's clear that this isn't a typical day at Saint Nicolas.
