The origins of the Arctic Char, the ghost of Ticonderoga and unearthing the Clan Gregor.

Mark Stephen gets stuck into history queries and mysteries in Argyll, including the origins of the Arctic Char, the ghost of Ticonderoga and unearthing the Clan Gregor.

Mark Stephen focusses on the area around Loch Awe in Argyll. Prized by monks for eating, we explore the idea that they were introduced to Scotland by these holy men. Then to two fascinating churches on the shores of Loch Awe, one built in the early 20th Century, another being surveyed by the Clan Gregor, who believe that their ancient clan chiefs are buried there. And to a rather unusal ghost story at Inverawe House. Contact us with your query on voicemail at 0141 422 7575 or email us at pastlives@bbc.co.uk.
