The story of Christian Watt, adapted from her own account of her life, "The Christian Watt Papers", edited by David Fraser
Christian Watt was declared insane in 1879 and admitted to Cornhill, the hospital for the mentally ill in Aberdeen, where she lived for the next 44 years. She died in 1923 aged 90. At Cornhill she wrote about her early life in the fishing community of Broadsea, near Fraserburgh in Aberdeenshire, and also described in vivid detail the succession of tragedies that finally unhinged her mind but at the same time renewed and deepened her religious faith.
