Have you ever come across an exquisite piece of renaissance jewellery at the back of an old drawer? This is the tale of the Fettercairn Jewel and how it came to tell a new story about the Scottish Renaissance. Carol speaks to Dr Anna Groundwater, principal curator of Renaissance and Early Modern Scotland at the National Museum Scotland, and editor of Decoding The Jewels, about this fascinating discovery and period of history.
