People may sometimes recognise the faces on our Scottish banknotes - for that reason - because they’re on the money that we spend. But, apart from the usual suspects, like Walter Scott, Robert Burns and Robert the Bruce, many of us have no idea who half of them are, or of their extraordinary impact on the world.
Chris McQueer, author of the cult classic, Hings, is on a mission to change this. In his first documentary, the rising star explores the lives of some of the great Scots who have been deemed noteworthy. He also sets himself a challenge to create his very own banknote, featuring some of his heroes and the landscapes that inspire him as he travels around Scotland.
​
We made this uplifting film with Chris last summer when we couldn't have imagined what kind of summer we would all be facing this year. We really hope that it brings a wee smile to your faces and lifts your spirits during these difficult times.

Stay Safe. Stay Well. Stay Positive.
TEAM TIBET
THE DOCUMENTARY
​
TEAM TIBET is a remarkable story of courage; of physical, mental and spiritual exhaustion, with a drive to cross the finish line stronger than that of any Olympian.
​
Tibet cannot take part in the Olympics as it is not recognised as a sovereign state by the International Olympic Committee so, in an act of defiance and solidarity, a group of young Tibetan refugees held their own.
​
Their stories weave through the physical and emotional exhaustion of Olympic events, held in the foothills of the Himalayas in India.
​
For them, it is bigger than the Games - it’s a race for life.
