The Boat in the Writing Room
This film about poet and sculptor, Ian Hamilton Finlay's 'overture' to his garden at Little Sparta, by Biggar, is also screening this year. It investigates the year he spent at Gledfield in the Highlands, where many of the ideas that later came to fruition at Stoneypath/Little Sparta were first conceived.
The film will be screened next at the Biggar Little Festival on October 21st. Others screenings will follow, including at the National Galleries of Scotland. You can find out more about this film here.
