Our Scotland: A Fantasy 24 Hours in Scotland25 Nov 2024

S3E9 Exploring the rich history of The Machars - bookshop owner Jayne Baldwin on Wigtown and its surrounds

Welcome to Our Scotland, the podcast where we take 24 hours in Scotland, add in teleportation, time travel and anything else we please to conjure up the day of our dreams.

My name is Alison Fraser and in this episode I’m joined by Jayne Baldwin, a bookseller, writer and publisher who lives in Dumfries and Galloway.

Jayne originally trained and worked as a journalist. She now brings those skills, researching and a nose for a good story, to her non fiction books. She says she’s fascinated by social history and although not an historian, she tries to give a voice to those people that have been overlooked or ignored.

Jayne carries that over to this podcast in which you will learn more about the place Jayne calls home.
