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.
Three dates have been arranged, so far. The first at Little Sparta on July 19th, the second at Dalkeith Palace, outside Edinburgh, on September 13th and then at the Biggar Little Festival on October 21st. Others will follow. You can find out more about this film here.
