Fancy an underwater adventure? How about exploring the wreck of a German submarine that was sunk in the First World War?

Producer, Dan Holland, is completing a radio documentary called The Hunt for U12 which you'll be able to hear on ´óÏó´«Ã½ Radio Scotland next month. During the course of his research he came across a rich collection of photographs and video which have now been made available here on the Scotland's History website. There's also an accompanying article telling the story of the U-Boat and and how it came to be found on the sea floor, 25 miles off the coast of Eyemouth.

Dan, I should explain, is a keen diver himself and is also a member of the lifeboat crew in Inverness. That explains his passion for this kind of programme.

The video (and above photograph) was provided by Graeme Govenlock. It gives you a fantastic view of the sunken sub inside and out. Also on the site is some bonus audio recorded by Dan.

The Hunt for U12 will be broadcast on ´óÏó´«Ã½ Radio Scotland on 5th March at 11.30am
