CREDITS Ae Fond Kiss is performed by Cairngorm - find them online at cairngormmusic.com The voice of Nancy MacLehose is Leanne Milne The score for this episode is by the human invisibility cloak Mitch Bain.

Since Burns Night is coming up soon: meet Tam - one of Robert Burns' most famous creations - as he rides from Ayr through Alloway and meets some... suspicious characters. This is something a bit different for us, and we put a lot of time into making it so we hope you enjoy! CREDITS This episode was written and sound designed by Michael Park, and scored by the human perception filter Mitch Bain. Thanks also to Leanne Milne for her help in the production of this episode.

Scottish history is full of stories of bloodthirsty characters... but are they any more than just characters? Let's meet a couple and find out. CREDITS Additional voices by Mitch Bain.
