Comedian and history enthusiast Susan Morrison crosses the centuries in good company - Dr Lucy Dean of the Centre for History at the University of the Highlands and Islands is our guide to the shocking public shaming of Mary Queen of Scots when she was led captive through the streets of Edinburgh in 1567. This was a day when it wasn't good to be the queen. Author and biographer, Sarah Fraser introduces us to the short, tragic but significant life of Mary's grand-son Prince Henry, perhaps one of the greatest Stuart kings we never had. Maritime historian Dr Eric Graham tells us about the smart sail transport of the age of Jane Austen - the Leith Smacks, your equivalent of an Edinburgh to London sleeper, but with a lot more convicts in the hold; and Susan takes a wee clamber up the Titan Crane in Clydebank to find out what it did in WW1.
