A song from the pen of Walter Scott is the focus of this week’s episode as we look at Blue Bonnets Over the Border.

Expect to hear talk of Covenanters, Brighton and laudanum, not to mention the sound of a fire crackling in the background and Marty coming dangerously close to acting…

Blue Bonnets by The Sorries (taken from the album Live at the Fringe - 2013)
