In this episode I am speaking with Dr. Fiona-Jane Brown about local heritage in Aberdeenshire.
Fiona-Jane shares with us how she developed her love of history and stories from an early age. In fact, there is so much we want to share, we have enough for two episodes! In this first episode Fiona-Jane will tell us a few stories about the people of the land and the people of the coast. She will also describe a few traditions which are still part of people’s lives today.
In the next episode we learn more about the language of the region and Fiona-Jane tells us about some influential and successful people who came from Aberdeen. Fiona-Jane also talks more about her tours in Aberdeen and that her guests tend to be a bit blood thirsty!

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
