For the 128th episode of The Scottish Independence Podcast, I went to Wee Ginger Dug Mansions to speak with the writer that also happens to live there, Paul Kavanagh.Paul has been one of the most insightful, strident and funniest people writing about the Scottish Independence debate for a number of years. He started this at his blog but now writes for The National newspaper and in other places too.We talked about why Paul thinks that even in this moment of general stramash, the time to start

What do you know about the 45? Not the 45% of people who voted yes, I mean the events of 1745.We've almost been conditioned to believe that a gang of highlanders/catholics (referred to as Bare-arsed Banditti) were led on a fools' errand by an effete Italian buffoon and that the whole thing ended in a sort of Scottish civil war at Culloden.As happens so often in history, the well-worn narrative that we all know doesn't really get to the heart of the matter.To get a better picture of the events of

2016/04/30

We all remember the people we met, campaigned, and often made friends with during the referendum campaign. However, were the people we met representative of the campaigners as a whole? Who were they all? If the Telegraph were to be believed then the whole campaign was just that one muscular guy in a kilt with his top off, as that seemed to be the only photo they used for the entire process.Was that really the case?Dr Iain Black of Heriot-Watt University, and also of Yes Edinburgh North & Leith, has

"The Land Reform Bill we have in front of us at the moment is just a start, and a pretty tentative one at that. It needs beefed up." - Lesley RiddochWhen it comes to land ownership and distribution it must be said that Scotland is an international oddball.A number of factors have contributed to the unusual situation we find ourselves in and in this episode I spoke with Lesley Riddoch about what those are and what can be done about the situation, both in the countryside and in the

Over the years I have had many conversations in which there has been the complaint that large chunks of Scottish history, both events and people, have been left out of our education.I therefore thought that it was about time that some of these stories and people should get some more publicity, and so here is the first in a new series - Scotland's Missing Histories.For the first episode I am throwing you all right in at the deep end too, with the story of James Connolly, one of Scotland and Ireland's

This included discussions on how the Yes
