KT Tunstall in new BBC show celebrating noteworthy Scots

KT features in a new series spotlight noteworthy Scots.

She joins some famous names, past and present, as the programmes reflect on some inspiring figures from our country.

Noteworthy, hosted by Chris McQueer, brings their stories to life.

He studies the familiar faces on bank notes - from Burns to Walter Scott, and Robert The Bruce - and finds what made them noteworthy.

He also sets himself a challenge to create his very own banknote, featuring some of his heroes and the landscapes that inspire him as he travels around Scotland.

It’s an eye opener for Chris, who feels ashamed that he’s never learned about the Aberdeen-born missionary, Mary Slessor, who is revered in Nigeria for saving the lives of hundreds of twin babies and fighting for women’s rights- or Elsie Inglis, the Edinburgh woman known as the ‘mother of the nation’ in Serbia.

Realising that many of those overlooked heroes of Scottish history are women, he explores this issue with some contemporary Scots who have inspired him.

These include the Scots Makar, Jackie Kay, the only Scot to have won a World Cup, Rose Reilly, and the multi-million selling musician, KT Tunstall. All noteworthy in their own right.

Chris said:”It’s just amazing seeing all these places for the first time, hearing all these amazing stories. It’s just been the most interesting, most fun I’ve ever had. “

Noteworthy with Chris McQueer will be broadcast by BBC on Tuesday, April 14 at 10.00pm
