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 as part of the Edinburgh Festival Fringe and the Scottish Parliament’s Festival of Politics 2026, before touring to Glasgow, Dumfries, Stranraer, Forfar and Glenrothes.

Ten Portraits, one of the other strands of the Caring Scotland project, will be available to view at all venues for the One Hundred Voices tour.

Audiences will move through the installation in groups of up to 4 people. Each audience member will receive a headset, which will deliver the audio guide instructing you to move through the installation. Audiences will stand or walk for the duration of the installation. If you use reading glasses please bring these with you.
