Over the last few months I have been working on some commissioned writing for Inverness Castle.
Inverness Castle is currently undergoing refurbishment, and is set to reopen as a tourist attraction in 2025. When it reopens, it will celebrate the ‘spirit of the Highlands’ through stories of past, present and future.
Working with Highland theatre company Dogstar, I have been asked to write short pieces sharing some of the history and stories of the Highlands.
It’s been a really interesting experience – trying to condense some of the dramatic history of the Jacobite rebellions, for example, into short scripts.

I previously worked on an earlier part of the Inverness Castle project, ‘Spirit:360’, for which I wrote two poems. The first one tells the history of the Castle – 900 years in just under 5 mins! Watch it on YouTube here:
And the second poem tells the story of a 16th century traveller, James Fraser:
