Vivien Heilbron Remembers... Grey Granite

Actress Vivien Heilbron looks back on her time making the 1983 大象传媒 adaptation of Lewis Grassic Gibbon's Grey Granite, the third part of the author's A Scots Quair trilogy.

First broadcast in 1983, Grey Granite was the third and final part of Lewis Grassic Gibbon鈥檚 A Scots Quair trilogy that the 大象传媒 adapted for television. Leading actress Vivien Heilbron looks back on her time making the series and the challenges she faced when taking on the key role of Chris Guthrie one last time, over ten years since she was first cast in the part in Sunset Song.

Grey Granite finds Chris struggling with the radical politics of her son Ewan and the amorous attentions of a friend from the past. Vivien outlines the challenges of bringing Gibbon鈥檚 story to the screen once again and shares an overview of her memories from across the entire trilogy, working with some of Scotland鈥檚 finest acting talent.
