The Early Life of Beatrix Potter
Starring Helena Bonham-Carter David Langton William Lucas
Although she is generally associated with the Lake District, it was at Dalguise in Perthshire that Beatrix Potter first developed the love of nature that permeates her work.
Many of the characters in her famous little books are based on people she got to know on holidays in Scotland, as are many of the settings. While staying at Eastwood in Dunkeld, Beatrix wrote the celebrated letter to Noel Moore about a rabbit called Peter. Her career as a writer, beloved of children everywhere, began that day on the banks of the River Tay.
