Hamish Henderson (1919-2002) was a Scottish poet, songwriter, communist, intellectual and soldier; & a catalyst for the folk revival in Scotland. His temporary 175-metre hillside portrait was commissioned by the Cateran Ecomuseum, used 4000 metres of jute, & was designed by the Perthshire based artist Martin McGuinness. The design was inspired by portraits of Hamish as a young man by the Scottish realist painter Alexander (Sandy) Moffat, & the portrait celebrated the 100th anniversary of the folk legend’s birth.
