Description

A vivid and moving portrait of the inimitable Lily Budge, who overcame poverty and class to become the 13th Countess of Galloway, and one of Scotland's most colourful eccentrics.Randolph Stewart was lobotomized as a teenager after a crude diagnosis of schizophrenia.

When the operation went wrong, he was hidden away by his aristocratic parents in a mental institution and then taken in by a sect of monks.

By the time Lily Budge met him in 1975, he appeared a shy and lonely tramp.

In reality he was the future Earl of Galloway, heir to a fortune and a title considered to be linchpin of the Scottish establishment.

Lily, an extroverted character from a working-class family, would join him in a powerful bond of love that challenged conventions, made national headlines, and led to enormous heartache.A vibrant portrait of 20th-century Scotland, 'An Unlikely Countess' is also a profile of two unforgettable characters, and the doomed love that they shared.
