2: A Sense of Place
A look at the sense of place, from animal groups to Scottish writing.
Steve Jones talks to Lewis Wolpert about how cells in a butterfly embryo get their sense of place from the chemical gradients which help to create their stunning wing-patterns. Dr David Daiches reads Robert Louis
Stevenson and discusses the powerful sense of place many Scottish writers seem to create, particularly when they are living far from Scotland.
