Comedy, music and real coffee

On today's programme we talk comedy, coffee and castles along with ballet, Black history and Scottish witches.

Nicola Meighan presents -

The Aberdeen Comedy Festival kicks off today for ten days - with comics from the UK and overseas taking to almost 20 stages. Comedian (and Ö÷²¥´óÐã Radio Scotland’s) Ashley Storrie along with organiser Shona Byrne pop into studio for a laugh.

Karen MacKenzie hops over to Millport to get a glimpse of the Screen Machine – the 33 tonne artic-come-mobile cinema which tours the Highland and islands offering showings of family favourites.

Frankie Vaughan reviews Scottish’s Ballet’s The Crucible at His Majesty’s in Aberdeen before it heads to Inverness and then Edinburgh.

Glamis Castle is a place of history, intrigue and just one or two ghost stories. Emily Esson went along for a tour to find out more.

Tastings, workshops, talks and demos are on offer in Edinburgh this Saturday when the city’s Coffee Festival takes place at the Corn Exchange.

October is Black History Month, but how much do we know about the about the contributions of African, Caribbean and Asian people to Scottish history, especially in our own cities? Catrina Rose goes on a Black History Walking tour of her home city Edinburgh to find out!

And a new interactive map is published - tracing the history (and crimes) of women and men accused of being witches back in the 16th & 17th centuries.
