S1E10 Ship breaking, paper making, a local voice and map discoveries
<p>This episode's guests are both closely connected with Fife Historic Buildings Trust: Robert Gibson makes sure everything financial is under close, careful and cheerful control, while volunteer Jim McLeish matches that goodwill and get-on-with-it spirit, in a variety of office tasks. Listen to hear what Jim's interest in maps, and honed research skills has revealed about industries and occupations in Inverkeithing in the nineteenth century. Robert picks up the thread, and gives wonderful first hand accounts of a childhood in Inverkeithing, his parent's work for two of the major local employers, and some colourful local and family details.</p> <p>Jim recommends (and we share his enthusiasm for) the amazing resources at the National Library of Scotland's specialist Map Library, where there are over 200,000 digitised maps available online, free to anyone. <a href="https://maps.nls.uk/">National Library of Scotland - Map Images (nls.uk)</a>.</p> <p>This is the last episode in series one, we hope you've enjoyed the podcasts so far. We will be making a series two, beginning in 2021, so if you have suggestions for themes or topics, requests or queries, please get in touch. Thanks for listening.</p>

S1E9 Murder most foul, jail breaks, and aristocratic cross dressing!
<p>A bonus length episode, at almost 27 minutes, this is a true story from Inverkeithing's past: of dark deeds, and surprising twists. </p> <p>A murder by a member of the gentry of Inverkeithing's apparently honest, respectable and harmless school master. The accused took flight, was however brought to trial in Edinburgh, found guilty and sentenced to death. The events that follow are no less extraordinary. </p> <p>The lives of the ordinary people involved in the matter are also intriguing, and humbling too: of debts repaid, adversity overcome, and a Burgh Council that acted honourably to support the murder victim's widow. </p> <p>The guest contributors are Claire Webb and Marion Watt, who have been doing extraordinary and valuable work as two of the volunteers on the Inverkeithing Heritage Regeneration project. </p> <p>The resource Claire recommends for research is www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk.</p> <p><br></p>

S1E8 Independence, Arbroath, plots and trials: pivotal historical events and enduring declarations, through an Inverkeithing's lens
<p>This fascinating episode takes the listener on a journey - beginning with a departure from Edinburgh Castle, a Forth crossing on a dark and stormy night, to Inverkeithing's safe harbour - where, had Alexander III taken the sage advice of his advisor, another Alexander - perhaps the whole sequence of events in the first and second phases of the Scottish Wars of Independence might have played out completely differently. </p> <p>Dr Tom Turpie explains brilliantly how Medieval Inverkeithing's strategic position, status and relationship with Royalty, meant that it was an important staging post, and what the turbulent period's events and charged political context meant for the town, for the Baron of Inverkeithing, and a particularly dark legal case. </p> <p>In 2020, the year of its 700th anniversary, Tom also reveals Inverkeithing's important connection with the Declaration of Arbroath.</p> <p>Listeners interested in following up their keenly whetted intellectual appetites, will find the online exhibition of the Declaration of Arbroath here: https://www.nrscotland.gov.uk/Declaration,</p> <p> Very reliable and cleanly presented information from the Scottish History Society on the first and second Scottish Wars of Independence here</p> <p> https://scottishhistorysociety.com/the-wars-of-independence/</p> <p>Tom also recommends the Scottish medieval historian authors Geoffrey W S Barrow, Michael Penman, and Michael Brown.</p> <p><br></p>
