Today’s journey takes us deep into the heart of Africa – a continent rich in culture, but ravaged by the forces of empire, greed… and the struggle for humanity.

Sir John Henderson – the nobleman who was a slave. Richard Oswald – Politician and slaver, and Dr. David Livingstone – the missionary, explorer, and abolitionist, whose footsteps carved both legend and controversy across the continent.

These men didn’t just witness history – they shaped it. Some with chains. Some with words. And one, perhaps, with a conscience too large for the age.

So buckle in, as we follow their stories across deserts and rivers, palaces and slave forts – uncovering how Scotland’s fingerprints were left on Africa’s darkest and most redemptive pages.
