Privateers and the darker side of Empire in Australia

We explore the history of suffragettes, privateers and the darker side of Scots abroad in Australia, with Susan Morrison.

Chatting to Dr Ben Wilkie down the line from Warrnambool, Susan Morrison finds out more about the darker side of Scottish settlement in Australia - and how Scots treated the indigenous people who were already living there. Moving back to the 18th century with Eric Graham, we're on the trail of a gallant and dashing privateer Luke Ryan who scourged the coast of Scotland and gained the favour of Marie Antoinette, and moving forward to the 20th century, we'll hear about Helen Crawfurd, the minister's wife who became a window-smashing suffragette.
