She published three books of poetry and two collections of short stories (one of them for children), and made thirty-two short films and the feature-length Blue Black Permanent (1992). She was born in Orkney in 1918. After qualifying in medicine at Edinburgh University in 1941, she joined the Royal Army Medical Corps, serving in India, Sri Lanka and Malaya, before returning to Orkney in 1946. She then studied in Italy, learning Italian at Perugia's School for Foreigners and, from 1950 to 1952 studying filmmaking at the Centro Sperimentale di Cinematografia in Rome. On her return to Scotland, Tait established her own film company, Ancona Films, in Edinburgh.
