Episode 18: 3 Women and Scottish Law Enforcement, Handy To Have Around

In this episode I’ll not be running you through a case from start to finish, but we’ll be looking at the three different ladies, and how they reached the headlines. They all have hands, big, strong shovel hands, hands that were accused of being where they weren't, and metaphorical hands that think hands are a lot more than just finger and palm prints. 

We discussed Wee Mary in the last episode, and we’ll stay in Partick, but go back a 150 years to a giant of a lady. Then travel back 15 or so years to a perjury case that ruined one police woman’s career, and finally we’ll take a look at one of my personal heroes, Scotland’s own answer to Fox TV’s Temperance Bones Brennan, should we be calling her McBones?
