Good Morning Tiree ! I logged into Radio Scotland this morning while getting the day started and enjoyed listening to "Past Lives". Great program today on archeological interviews, plus what you will love to listen to, some details on the Island of Tiree Gathering and interviews with two to three people from Tiree! Unfortunately I did not catch the names of the people being interviewed as the audio cut out briefly. Regardless, you can hopefully listen to Radio Scotland's "Past Lives" 30 minute program by logging into: http://www.bbc.co.uk/scotland/radioscotland/ > "Missed a Programme ?" > Past Lives - The answers to those nagging little historical questions! a.. Past Lives - The answers to those nagging little historical questions! THU THU Click on the second THU once you get to the website, you can hear the program! Mind you it may change to the first THU. Anyways, I am sure you can figure it out on your own. Your know you have the right program when the audio starts off with "Hibernian Beach, sunshine, North Uist, SCAPE - Scottish Coastal Archeology, cobbles, etc...." Total broadcast time is 19:26:29. The reference to Tiree commences at 19:16:18. Puzzled by the past and don't know who to ask? Let Mark Stephen help!

Unfortunately, the audio cuts out and I did not get the names of the people being interviewed - two males and one female, one of the males being Donald Brown I believe.
