'Dear Minnie. I now take up my pen to fulfil my promise of writing to you. You will be thinking by the time you get this that I have forgot about you, but I will never do that.'

In 1902, a young joiner called Alexander Middleton left home in Glenesk in Angus to seek his fortune in the Gold Rush of North America. Over a hundred years later, a box containing 55 letters from him to his sweetheart, Minnie Lindsay, was discovered at the Glenesk Folk Museum. It contained evidence of a love affair no one in the Glen knew about.

Through exclusive readings from Alex's love letters to Minnie - spanning the early part of the 20th Century - we get an insight into life in Glenesk during that time. And Mark discovers that many of the places and social events described in these letters are perfectly preserved to this day.
