Some Other Scotland – Ep30 – Conkers
This Week:
This week’s news story:
Conker competition cancelled
changed to the alternative:
Conkers enter protected category
A combination of factors, including disease and a lack of pollination has led to the horse chestnut tree being added to the list of protected plant life. Recent surveys have shown only a few hundred of the trees had given fruit this year, in comparison to thousands only three years ago. This has already resulting in the cancellation of the Scottish Conker Championships, due to be held in Peebles this year.

‘Sobieski’ – Spin-off
Episode 101 of Every Photo Tells… contains a new spin-off story set in the world of Some Other Scotland. This one tells the story of an impromptu performance by Andy Jamieson on a cold winter’s afternoon.
Since it is set around the performance of his set of classic Scottish folk songs, I also recorded some backing music for the performance: an acoustic guitar rendition of ‘Sound The Pibroch’. This is a lament to those who lost their lives in Culloden and throughout the Jacobite rebellion of 1745.

Some Other Scotland – Ep29 – Artists
This Week:
This week’s news story:
Arts group attacked by artists
changed to the alternative:
Artists attack bias in funding decisions
A group of Scottish musicians, artists and writers has written a strongly worded letter to the main funding body for the arts in Scotland, in which they raise concerns about the choices made when deciding on which groups will receive support. They claim that worthwhile artistic endeavours which would bring education and business into certain areas of the country are being overlooked in favour of projects that would appear to have little merit or in some cases would actually cause offence. Creative Scotland, the body at the centre of the complaints, has responded that the allegations will be fully investigated.

Some Other Scotland – Ep28 – Artefacts
This Week:
This week’s news story:
Supermarket building on Roman forts
changed to the alternative:
Roman fort under supermarket hides deeper secret
Recent excavations for a new supermarket in Camelon, near Falkirk, revealed a series of Roman forts believed to be a centre of commerce in Scotland from the first century AD. Many of the items dug up from the site have been put on public display in a temporary cabin beside the building site, but one item is causing some confusion amongst archeologists. A petrosphere, or stone ball, believed to date from the neolithic era, was found in what appears to be a kitchen area. Similar items have been found in various locations across Scotland in the past, but this is the first time one has been found in the middle of a Roman site.

Some Other Scotland – Ep27 – Skeleton
This Week:
- Burnard makes some discoveries.
- Charles spots a face from his past.
- Arthar receives a distress call.
This week’s news story:
Violent deaths of Stirling skeletons
changed to the alternative:
Skeleton answers lead to new questions
A series of tests on a group of five skeletons found buried under the Royal Chapel at Stirling Castle have shown they were victims of violent deaths. Scientists reported a number of fractures, stab wounds and broken bones that would have proved fatal, but have been unable to explain the injuries inflicted on one of the male skeletons. One archaeologist stated “it was as though he had been sliced in two with an angle grinder, not a sword or an axe”.

‘The Highland Welcome’ – Spin-Off
There is a new SOS spin-off story over at Every Photo Tells…, called ‘The Highland Welcome’.
It is about two redcoat soldiers searching for their elusive prey on a stormy night who come across more than they had bargained for. Anyone unfamiliar with SOS might think it is a ghost story, but for those in the know…
There are only two polls left, so take the chance now to have your say on the future of the plot and watch out for new episodes in December. I will be working on the second half of the story during NaNoWriMo this year and you can find more information about my progress at my own blog.
