Before the Ruin is a collaborative studio album by Scottish folk musicians Kris Drever, John McCusker and Roddy Woomble, released on 15 September 2008 through Navigator Records. The album entered the UK Albums Chart at #156[1] and the Scottish Albums chart at #45.[2] The album was originally scheduled for a May release, but was delayed due to McCusker touring with Mark Knopfler.

The album features appearances from Radiohead drummer Phil Selway, and Teenage Fanclub's Norman Blake.[3]

"Silver and Gold" was released as a single on 1 September 2008.[4]

Speaking of the album, McCusker notes that their "paths had all crossed in various ways over the past few years - working with Kate Rusby, and on Kris and Roddy's solo albums - and our starting-point was basically just that we all really liked each other's stuff."[5] Woomble notes that: "Kris and John each have such a different take on things like melody and lyrics, but we’re all working equally on the songs together, so the whole thing feels totally new. And it’s great getting to make another ‘first’ album at our age."[3]

The album cover is by Orcadian painter Charles Shearer, and is said to "describe the physical, and metaphorical pull of the ocean, which is also a main theme of the record."[6]
