BBC Radio 4 - Start the Week, Scotland

Kirsty Wark with Tom Devine, Chris Whatley, Kathleen Jamie and Angus Farquhar.

Cultural discussion programme. Kirsty Wark with historians Tom Devine and Chris Whatley, poet Kathleen Jamie and artist Angus Farquhar.

Start the Week comes from Glasgow this week. As the debate over the EU Referendum continues Kirsty Wark looks back at the Scottish Referendum with the historians Tom Devine and Chris Whatley. How much did the history of the union from 1707 and Scotland's sense of identity play a role in the public vote and imagination? The poet Kathleen Jamie wrote a poem a week to mark the momentous changes taking place in Scotland last year. Jamie is well-known for her celebration of the country's wild landscape, but the artist Angus Farquhar is focused on transforming a very different piece of Scottish heritage - the 60s modernist ruin, St Peter's Seminary.
Producer: Katy Hickman.
