ScotlandsFest: A Scottish Football Odyssey

Archie Macpherson / Luath Press • Professional company

60 minutes•Hall
Archie Macpherson has been writing and broadcasting about the beautiful game for 60 years. From triumphalism to downright despondency, from the 16mm film pictures of the sixties to the digital age, Scotland’s premier football commentator has seen and felt it all. In today’s disfiguring financial landscape, Scottish football faces unprecedented challenges. Is our appreciation of the game cheapened by increased access via technology? What does the future hold for Scottish football? If anyone knows, Macpherson does.
