From Roman emperors to Machiavellian monarchs: Susan Morrison mines the rich, sometimes murky, depths of Scotland's past in this exciting new history series for BBC Radio Scotland.
This week on Time Travels, Susan Morrison gets a sneak preview of the Diaspora tapestry, before it returns to its original home in Prestonpans in time for East Lothian's 3 Harbour's Arts Festival, she reveals the Scots love of curry and spice and the story behind the first curry house in Edinburgh.
