AdminHistoryBill Douglas taught at Strathclyde University in 1990 where he devised his short script 'Ring of Truth' as a teaching exercise. The story follows an increasing farcical situation in a Scottish graveyard as a mother and daughter search for a ring to prove the daughter's legitimacy. The film was realized posthumously in 1996, directed by Richard Downes and created by Bill's former students and BBC Scotland.
