This Week in Scottish History, on the 9th of November 1979 - saw the infamous Bob Taylor, West Lothian incident or Dechmont Woods Incident.
A story very close to me (literally as I grew up 2 minutes away from the localtion!!!!) that I have waited a long time to tell on the podcast.

This week in Scottish History marks the death of Thomas Cochrane. An incredible navy man who fought for Britain, Chile, Peru and Greece.
He was fiery, and involved in a scandal that threatened to ruin him completely.
A story I have wanted to tell for a long time, as there is an impressive bust of him in Culross, Fife.
I remember having Chilean passengers on an Outlander tour who recognised him instantly!
