From Raith Rovers 1923 shipwreck to the Second Sight with a detour via the Scottish Inquisition, Susan Morrison gets to grips with Scotland's varied past.
Football historian Dan Gray, takes Susan back to the 1920s when playing in Europe didn't mean a glamorous life of first class air travel and swanky hotels, but sharing your travels with a cargo of chilled beef and roughing it after a shipwreck.
Dr Donald William Stewart of the University of the Highlands and Islands introduces Susan to some of the earliest accounts of the Second Sight, right back to the 16th century.
And nobody expects the Scottish Inquisition! Except Dr Katie Stevenson of National Museums of Scotland, of course she expects it, because she's an expert on Scotland's crack medieval heresy hunters.
