Hardeep Singh Kohli continues his 3-part series exploring Scotland and its links to the Commonwealth.

Scotland has a rich art and design heritage with influences reverberating beyond its borders.
Hardeep takes a tour of his home city of Glasgow and meets some of the creative inhabitants who
have put the nation on the cultural map.

The devastating fire at Glasgow's School of Art, designed by Rennie Mackintosh, hit headlines internationally and Hardeep talks to David Ross of Keppie Design to learn more about the architectural significance of the building. He takes a trip to Falkirk in Central Scotland to see the breathtaking Kelpies, designed by Andy Scott, which are the largest equine sculptures in the world.

Donald Shaw, Artistic Director of the Celtic Connections Festival, and artist Peter Howson share their thoughts on why Scotland punches above its weight internationally.

There are darker stories to be heard around the growth of the second city of Empire. Commonwealth links are everywhere - from the Merchant City to Jamaica Street and Kingston Bridge. Hardeep visits the pop-up Empire Cafe to meet author Louise Welsh and architect Jude Barber who've been digging deeper into Glasgow's slave trade links.

And prepare to hear some mouthwatering radio as Hardeep samples some Indian street food with a Glasgow twist!
