Strange and well done film about a deeply weird true story.

My older daughter was in the year below 'Brandon' and when the story broke it really was the talk of the steamie in deepest Bearsden. The headmaster at the time, Mr MacLeod, was a lovely guy and didn't deserve the furore.

I doubt anyone will ever really get to the bottom of the whole stramash. The programme seems to be depressingly true to the facts. Definately worth a watch for those who are new to this.
"for, as long as but a hundred of us remain alive, never will we on any conditions be brought under English rule. It is in truth not for glory, nor riches, nor honours that we are fighting, but for freedom - for that alone, which no honest man gives up but with life itself."
