Penned by Scots and non-Scots at home and abroad, Dearest Scotland is a culmulative collection of letters that provide a snapshot of the nation in the six month period prior to and after the Independence Referendum.
Created as a strictly apolitical, non-partisan initiative to support Scottish literacy projects, the catalyst around Dearest Scotland evolved from asking what might Scotland look like in future years, regardless of the referendum result?
Intrepid by nature, the Dearest Scotland team travelled around the country asking what Scottish educational facilities, high streets and landscapes might look and feel like twenty, thirty or fifty years from 2014. Both online and at letter writing sessions and events, citizens ranging from primary school to retirement age connected with the initiative, in turn sparking their own questions about our future.
Read between these pages of the hopes, fears, visions and dreams that Dearest Scotland spawned; each one of them little time capsules which open with two simple words:
Dearest Scotland …
