Caring Scotland: One Hundred Voices
One Hundred Voices is an interactive, audio-guided installation, bringing creative insight into living in the care system. It serves as an artistic act of recognition and celebration of the one hundred testimonies recorded through the Caring Scotland project.

Step into a guided immersive experience which walks you through an intimate landscape of memory, resilience and imagination, drawn from the lives of one hundred voices from Scotland’s Care Experienced community. Fragments of stories unfold across sound, light, and space, as the audience journeys through a series of spaces.

This interactive installation transforms oral history into artistic encounters, and asks us to imagine together a more compassionate Scotland where every child is cherished, every voice amplified, every future honoured.

One Hundred Voices is part of Caring Scotland, a three-year listening project led by acclaimed playwright Nicola McCartney documenting and recording the lives of Care Experienced people in Scotland.



The One Hundred Voices installation opens at the Scottish Parliament in Edinburgh on 12 August 2026 where it will be part of the Festival of Politics, before touring to Glasgow, Dumfries, Stranraer, Forfar and Glenrothes. Bookings will open in January 2026.
