You Fancy Yourself archiveAgainst the background of 1950s Scotland, You Fancy Yourself tells the story of Elsa whose family has travelled from the northern land of mountains, lullabies and fairies to chilly grey Edinburgh. Post-war Scotland is suspicious of foreigners and Elsa quickly and cruelly learns that navigating her way through her new world of tenement buildings, scrubbing ladies and sad-eyed children, will require more than learning the words to "Scotland the Brave." It means taking on the schoolyard bullies and that being fascinated with the massacre of Glencoe doesn't make you Scottish and that dreams come with a high price.
