A new film about a celebrated Scottish cultural figure is set to premiere in Dunfermline.

Produced and directed by Michael Lloyd, the film, titled Inspiration, will be shown at the Fire Station Creative on Thursday, November 21 at 6.30pm.

The documentary examines why Charles Nasmyth, an artist from Dunfermline, chose to paint a portrait of Hamish Henderson.

Henderson, a poet, scholar, and folklorist, is widely recognised as an 'important architect' in the post-war Scottish cultural renaissance.

The film includes interviews with people influenced by Henderson's legacy and delves into his life, from his time as an intelligence officer in the Second World War to his advocacy for traditional folk music and Scottish self-determination.

Michael Lloyd’s documentary follows Charles Nasmyth to various locations around Scotland linked to Henderson, including Glenshee, Blairgowrie, and Calton Hill in Edinburgh.

It also features performances of songs composed by Henderson, such as The Freedom Come All Ye, which is considered by many as an alternative national anthem for Scotland.

The film is being released in conjunction with the 105th anniversary of Henderson’s birth in Blairgowrie, Perthshire.

Fred Freeman, Professor of Traditional Music at Scotland’s Royal Conservatoire, and Willie Hershaw, Editor of the Lallans magazine, who both appear in the documentary, will introduce the film and answer questions after its screening.

Nasmyth’s portrait of Hamish Henderson will also be displayed during the premiere.

Tickets for the event are priced at £5 and can be booked through the Fire Station Creative, with a complimentary drink included.
