S3E3 Professor Donna Heddle and great Scottish stories (Fife, Papa Westray, Iona, Lochindorb, Elderslie, St Margaret's Chapel, St Magnus Cathedral)

If you had just 24 hours in Scotland where would you go? Add in teleportation, time travel and even the magic of pausing time you can conjure up the day of your dreams.

That is what Our Scotland is all about, highlighting the places and people that are memorable.

My name is Alison Fraser and I love all things Scotland, the people, the food, the music and the places.

In this episode I’m joined by Professor Donna Heddle who is going to take us on a historic 24 hours around Scotland and share some fascinating stories with us, some you may know, and some you might not.

Professor Donna Heddle is the Director of the Institute for Northern Studies at University of the Highlands and Islands. 

Based on the UHI Orkney campus, her research interests include Scottish and Northern isles cultural history, small island studies, Scottish language and literature, and Old Norse.
