Radio Scotland's genealogy programme with advice and powerful stories as people delve into their family history. This week we look at myths and stories that have been passed down through generations. 

Was my ancestor burned as a witch? Did my family leave Scotland after stealing the Crown Jewels? Am I related to a Scottish folk singer? Was my ancestor involved in the construction of the original Tay Rail Bridge? These are some of the questions that genealogist Dr Bruce Durie investigates to find out whether or not there is any truth in these family tales.
