Discover how the stately home was transformed into a makeshift hospital, and what happened to those babies after the war.
Jackie sits down with visitor services supervisor Claire Russell and Haddo baby Jean Glately to discuss the history of the house, the realities of converting it into a maternity ward, and the story of Jean and her mother.
