Katie Morag - Wikipedia

There’s no getting away from it, the nights are fair drawing in. So embrace the falling leaves, cold … The biggest difference is that there are more episodes than there were stories. The scriptwriters have taken the characters, the locations and the relationships and created six brand new stories and six special episodes. They have come up with new original ideas while still being very faithful to the original stories. I have written one script myself which was a very different process because I had no illustrations to rely on. Other cross curricular activities may include: map drawing/ food tech; making oatcakes/ exploring different cultures and music.

Family: Katie Morag lives with her parents Isobel and Peter, her little brother Liam and her baby sister Flora Ann. Mr McColl is the shopkeeper in the village shop and Mrs McColl is the postmistress. A stage adaption was created by Lisa Grindall for Mull Theatre in 2005, based on characters and setting from the books, with a new story and songs. After a successful tour of smaller venues in Argyll and the Highlands followed by a week at the Citizens Theatre in Glasgow in 2005, [26] [27] [28] [29] the production was revived as a Christmas show at the Byre Theatre in St Andrews in 2007, [30] [31] [32] [33] [34] and toured again in 2008.

I really like my own bedroom in the studio. It's not real though. I get to run up the stairs and flash my torch to Grannie Island. Her house is a different set in the studio. I think children easily identify with Katie Morag’s problems, her moods and the family issues. I try to create stories seen through the eyes of Katie Morag. I think children, through Katie Morag, can recognize and explore the familiarity of the problems that she has. Stephen Fraser, Katie Morag gets politically correct, Scotland on Sunday, 18 July 1999.
