Ahead of the referendum in September, and as the country prepares for the Commonwealth Games, the spring issue of Spectator Life has a distinctly Scottish theme. In the spirit of Gerard Butler, Ewan McGregor, and James McAvoy, in what we affectionately term our ‘hot Scots’ feature, we put a spotlight on a new generation of Scottish actors who seem destined for equally great things, from Joanna Vanderham, star of The Paradise and the recent Henry James adaptation What Maisie Knew, to Laura Fraser of Breaking Bad and Richard Madden and Rose Leslie, who you may recognise from Game of Thrones. Also featured is Chloe Pirrie who first caught my eye at the Moët BIFAS – the indie equivalent of the BAFTAS – where she won the prestigious newcomer award.
Naturally, we took the opportunity to canvas their views on independence and happily they are on the whole an opinionated bunch.
