Digging Up Your Roots - Special Programme to Look at Scottish Diaspora
The producer of BBC Radio Scotland's family history programme 'Digging Up Your Roots', Rhona Brudenell, has announced a one-off hour long programme looking at the Scottish diaspora which will be aired during the Commonwealth Games.
She wants to feature stories of people who have researched their family history and uncovered interesting tales of Scots who left their homeland to seek new lives elsewhere (in particular, to countries which are now part of the British Commonwealth) or people who live overseas whose family history research brought them back here to Scotland? Either way, she would love to hear from you!
Her direct contact details are:
Phone 01224 384881
or email her at rhona.brudenell AT bbc.co.uk, replacing the spaces and AT with the @ sign.

Digging Up Your Roots Podcasts
I've already blogged about the new series of BBC Radio Scotland's popular Digging Up Your Roots family history programme.
I’ve now found out that podcasts of the Digging Up Your Roots programmes can be downloaded. The podcasts are available for 30 days after broadcast, so I think the first programme will be available until 7th February 2012, and the subsequent programmes correspondingly later.
The first programme includes one of our members, Marjorie Gavin, talking about Dr John Leyden, the famous poet and orientalist from Denholm. I’m still able to listen to last year’s Digging Up Your Roots podcasts so I’m presuming that once they’re downloaded you’ll be able to listen to them over and over again.
