SCOTTISH BLETHERS
Hosts | Liz Lister and Helen Houston
In Scotland, when friends get together they blether. When those friends happen to be Scottish Blue Badge Tourist Guides you can be sure that the country they are so passionate about will be right at the heart of their discussions.
Contemporary and historical; culinary and cultural; reminiscence and anecdote - from accommodation to zoos, the chat will range across the entire alphabet of topics and issues that are live and happening in Scotland right now.
We hope that you’ll join us - there’s nothing to beat a right good blether!

SB | Episode 55: Scotland - Home of Golf?

Was it down to trading or cultural links or was it links of a different kind ? The soft, sandy soils between the land and the sea where nothing will grow except hardy grasses and gorse. Useless for agriculture but perfect for recreation.
