Dead Air Time

Ep. 21 - Olive MacLeod, The Brave Adventurer


Listen Later

As you wander through the vast halls of Dunvegan Castle, you catch a glimpse of the green rolling hills of Scotland through the arched window.  Your breath catches as the drizzling rain outside deepens the rich hues of emerald outside, coating everything in a glistening blanket. Stepping up the stairs, portraits on the walls around you seem to watch and encourage you to move forward, see more.  Who are you to deny them? Paintings, decorative rugs, wood railings, and… a locked shelf.  Little known to you, but within that shelf would lie the story of a woman whose story lay hidden in her diaries for almost a hundred years. Her life was one filled with adventure, danger, daring, and trouble. Join us as we take a breath of dead air with Olive MacLeod. Welcome to Dead Air Time.
