The play placed Hawick at the centre of a fictional inter-dimensional crisis. Featuring newly digitised archive film clips of Hawick between 1960 and 1980, The Big Border Bogle Hunt formulated new ways of engaging with auld footage of our town.

​

On Saturday 28 October 2023, The Big Border Bogle Hunt culminated in a new play and live cinema performance; and an augmented reality exhibition in Wilton Lodge Park (28 October – 12 November), which showcased community-made archive footage of Hawick accessed via QR codes through mobile phones. The play and AR exhibition also included a new print publication bringing together some of the research underpinning the project.
