This week in Scottish History marks the death of Thomas Cochrane. An incredible navy man who fought for Britain, Chile, Peru and Greece.

He was fiery, and involved in a scandal that threatened to ruin him completely.

A story I have wanted to tell for a long time, as there is an impressive bust of him in Culross, Fife.

I remember having Chilean passengers on an Outlander tour who recognised him instantly!

Enjoy!

This week in Scottish History saw the opening of the Skye Bridge on the 16th of October 1995.

For almost a decade, the residents of the island were subjected to seriously high toll charges just to leave the island on which they lived.

They eventually won their battle on the 22nd of December 2004, when all bridge and road tolls in Scotland, were abolished.

This week in Scottish History, saw the disaster of the sinking of HMS Otranto.

This would be the second American Troop ship that would sink off the coast of the Island of Islay in 1918.

Hundreds of dead American soldiers, and one small island, off the West coast of Scotland.

This episode tells the stories of both ships, the American lives lost and the monument by which we remember them.
