Summary
[edit]DescriptionBessie Watson aged 9.jpg |
English: Bessie Watson - suffragette aged 9 years old. In 1909, the Women's Social and Political Union (WSPU) staged a march through Edinburgh to demonstrate "what women have done and can and will do". Bessie Watson had played the bagpipes from an early age and at the age of nine she was asked to join the WSPU march and play the pipes. The march had a big impact on Bessie and she became involved in the suffragette movement. This involved playing the pipes outside the Calton Gaol to raise the spirits of incarcerated suffragettes. Playing the pipes led Bessie to do remarkable things and she became one of the first Girl Guides in Edinburgh and was seen by the King. The Capital Collections exhibition includes images of Bessie and the 1909 march as well as pictures of Calton Gaol. |
