Burgh. It’s the word that never fails to trip up visitors to Scotland. Is it pronounced BURG, or maybe BURROW? No - it’s BURRA. In this episode we talk about these settlements which were first established by David I back in the 12th C. As a result of the trading rights they enjoyed, they prospered and grew and many remain as important towns today. They can often be recognised by their market cross with its unicorn or “puggy” on top. Listen in to this week’s episode to find out more!
