Scotland's Makar - Jackie's Story

Jackie Kay is Scotland’s ‘Makar’ - a Scots word which means national poet. Jackie is the third in a line of makars which previously included Edwin Morgan and Liz Lochhead. Born in Edinburgh and raised in Glasgow by adoptive parents, Jackie is one of the UK’s most acclaimed and popular literary stars. Revered for her challenging but accessible poetry, all infused with her distinctly Scottish sense of humour; in this film Jackie turns her pen to her homeland. Watch as Jackie tells us what being Scotland’s Makar means to her before reading her new poem Scotland, My Jo, a beautiful ode to the country of her birth that never fails to ‘take my breath away’. Listening to Jackie’s evocative words as stunning scenes of dramatic scenery, rich culture and people unfold, it’s clear you don’t have to be Scottish to be left breathless by Scotland.
