A Scattering

In Highland Scotland in 1850, Catriona lives life to the rhythm of seasons and Gaelic songs, until a dramatic change of circumstance forces her to fight for everyone and everything she loves. 

Years later Rose, an artist, trying to make sense of her fractured family and her own restlessness, searches among the ruins of a deserted landscape.

Does the answer lie in the injustices of the past?

Set on a remote Scottish hillside, during the Highland Clearances, A Scattering follows Rose and Catrona, who are from different centuries, but share a secret and a common enemy. Interweaving the story of a crofting community with a rich Gaelic culture, and one set in present-day Scotland, it explores the effect the clearances had not only on the people and culture but also on later generations, until one woman finds a way to break the cycle.
