The full movie is available on both Youtube and Netflix. It’s a tightly focused window on what it is to be a Scot. Personally remote, paradoxically passionate, contradictory. The greatest fly-tying artisan of all time did not fish.

The movie is curiously captivating. They don’t want to show her to us until very briefly at the very end. It’s immaterial. What matters is her vision, dedication, and extraordinary precision and perseverance. That her protege describes her with simple brutality as “a man in a skirt” doesn’t matter.

After all, doesn’t that suffice to describe all Scots? Sometimes beauty is a beast.
