We are so sorry to hear the sad news about Paddy Higson passing away but grateful to have had such an incredible person giving so much and supporting the Scottish film and television industry for so long.
Our thoughts are with her family and close friends at this hard time ❤️

The “mother of the Scottish film industry” played a key role in hits such as Gregory’s Girl, Taggart and Monarch of the Glen before dedicating herself to mentoring through Glasgow’s GMAC Film.
