ScotlandsFest: Talking Two Millennia (of Scotland’s History)

When St Columba was in Iona, what was Muhammad doing in the Arabian desert? From Columba to Robert the Bruce, John Knox to Nicola Sturgeon – join Anna Groundwater, author of Connecting Scotland's History to hear 2,000 years of Scottish history located within the global.
