Margaret Caroline Tait (11 November 1918 – 16 April 1999) was a Scottish film maker and poet. After studying in Italy, Tait returned to Scotland and founded Ancona Films. On her move back to Orkney] in the 1960s, Tait continued to make films and took inspiration from the landscape and culture of Orkney. In 50s and 60s' Edinburgh she was close to, though not a member of, the Rose Street Poets, which included such figures as Hugh MacDiarmid, Sorley Maclean and Norman MacCaig.[1] Tait made 32 short films and one full-length feature, Blue Black Permanent. In addition, Tait wrote prose and poetry, and published three poetry books - origins and elements, The Hen and the Bees, and Subjects and Sequences.
