Artist Charles Nasmyth takes a fresh look at one of Scotland's literary and musical giants, Hamish Henderson. He explores his inspiration to paint a portrait of Hamish and asks what motivated this complex and sometimes underappreciated character.

Henderson was driven by his experiences in WW2, in which he fought in the desert campaign and later with the Italian partisans. He was respected by officers and troops alike. He was the only British soldier fluent enough in Italian to take Italy's surrender from the head of the Fascist army, General Rodolfo Graziani.
