Welcome to Our Scotland, the podcast where we take 24 hours in Scotland, add in teleportation, time travel and anything else we please to conjure up the day of our dreams.
My name is Alison Fraser and I love all things Scotland, the people, the food, the music and the places and my guests are people just like me.
In this episode I’m joined by Lindsay Bruce, a features and obituaries writer for the Press and Journal, one of Scotland's oldest newspapers.
Lindsay is a mum of two and describes herself as an avid Irn-bru drinker and crazy dog lady.
During the pandemic Lindsay was treated for cancer and it was after that she and her family moved to Scotland, it had been 20 years since she had last lived there.
