00:00Our deep history and the people and places that have forged Scotland's story is an endless source
00:06of fascination. My name is Alison Campsey, I'm the Heritage Correspondent for The Scotsman.
00:13My aim is to bring these stories of our past to life for all of us. Thousands of years are covered
00:19as we explore Scotland through time, from the ways of the fairy ancient civilisation to the more
00:25modern living memories that touch every one of us. Picts, Vikings, Jacobites are among our most popular
00:32subjects as are the traditions, the customs, the languages and the land that defines us.
00:39People lie at the heart of every story and the same is true if you're reporting something that happened
00:455000 years ago or five minutes ago. Scotland as we know is home to an amazing array of historians,
00:52archaeologists and researchers whose work every day enhances our timeline and changes how we think
00:58about history. New discoveries are explored as narratives change and are challenged and we look
01:05to Scotland's past to help us understand where we have come from as we look to where we might be
01:10going. It is a great privilege to report on these stories. I do hope you will enjoy them as much as
01:16as I do at scotsman.com
