Susan Morrison finds out about miners in World War 1 with Euan Loarridge of Glasgow University who’s researching the 10th battalion of the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders and the mining community around Stirling and Falkirk. In Slamannan kirkyard, they meet Alec Buchanan, a local historian whose grandfather was a miner who served in the Argylls. Having a mining background could be a real advantage in the trenches.

Also today Susan chats to Dr Amy Blakeway of the University of Kent and finds out about some of the bloodiest, most destructive campaigns on Scottish soil, the ‘Rough Wooing’ and why it’s so often overlooked. Really it's like 'Mary Queen of Scots: The Prequel' - should there be a film?

We’re also detouring to Tibet via the banks of the Clyde as Louise Welsh explores the tale of two little girls who came to Daldowie - were Martha and Mary Bogle really the daughters of a high-up Tibetan lady or was their story more complicated?
