My Inner Child

Episode 5: Ghillie Basan

Duration: 28 minutes

First broadcast: on BBC Radio OrkneyLatest broadcast: on BBC Radio Scotland Highlands and Islands

Child Psychologist Richard Woolfson has a special interest in the way our childhood influences the way we are as adults.

He travels to Ghillie's very remote home in the Scottish Highlands where he's immediately struck by the buffalo skull by her backdoor. Inside he sees many artefacts from her childhood years in Keyna and hears of encounters with elephants and lions and adventures going camping in the bush.

Ghillie was introduced to many new foods and spices at that time which has influenced her career as a food and travel writer and she prepares a traditional Kenyan dish for Richard to try. Show less
