Written by John McGrath, Mairi Mhor is a powerful tribute to the Isle of Skye’s 19th century warrior poet, Mary McPherson, Big Mary of the Songs. Shot on Skye and featuring the unmistakeable voice of Catriona-Anna Nic a’ Phi (Catherine-Ann MacPhee), the film documents Mairi Mhor’s passionate resistance to the displacement of Scottish communities during the Highland Clearances through songs that remain resonant to this day.

The film was introduced by a mini-concert of Skye songs from Deirdre Graham.

Presented with the kind support of Bòrd na Gàidhlig.
