Through archive footage, emotional testimony from those impacted by the events, and interviews with journalists who covered the stories, this series examines disasters that have shocked Scotland.

In this episode, we revisit the 1971 Ibrox disaster. On 2 January, following a 1-1 draw between rivals Rangers and Celtic, an accident on Ibrox’s Stairway 13 resulted in tragedy.

Almost 30 years later, in 2000, a crew of seven men from Galloway were lost at sea while out catching scallops on their boat, the Solway Harvester.
