Host John Drummond chats with historian and author Jenny Eales, whose Random Scottish History website contains an accessible collection of pre 1900 Scottish Literature, History, Art and Folklore , including newspaper articles from the time of the Treaty of Union.  Some fascinating comparisons between the discourse of the day and present day debate. 

Who would have thought that, in highlighting the democratic deficit inherent in the UK Union, today's Independence campaigners are using same the arguments as the 18th century Unionists!

Jenny's website is  https://randomscottishhistory.com/

Her books are available on Amazon and she also has a Youtube channel  https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC1aQ3L_3eGNSbsHXFxMEpQQ

Audio clips of Jenny's readings of the original Treaty of Union articles are also featured in Indylive.radio 's History Hour on Tuesdays at 11am
