Aberdeen

BBC Radio Scotland - Past Lives, Series 13, Aberdeen

Aberdeen is the site of the week's local history programme.

Mark Stephen jumps back on the Past Lives trail as he tracks down the answers to listener queries and tells more local history stories in Aberdeen.

You've called and emailed with questions and stories, and now Mark Stephen is back in saddle to answer and retell them for you.

He's in Aberdeen, investigating why it's never a good idea to brag that you can swim the Dee while under the influence and why so many Aberdonians are good at the quick step.

Produced by Lucy Adam.
