The third child of Gaelic-speaking crofters, William McTaggart became one of Scotland’s most celebrated artists through sheer determination and hard work. What is his legacy a century on, for his country and family? Songwriter Elsa McTaggart tells the story of her great-grandfather’s extraordinary life and talent, and how it shaped her own creative identity. Made in the Outer Hebrides – and part of the Made in Scotland showcase – this visually striking new theatre show is written by Elsa McTaggart and directed by Fringe First winner Laura Cameron-Lewis. Production design by Robbie Thomson. MadeInScotlandShowcase.com
