Stark Talk: Lorna Dawson

Lorna Dawson

BBC Radio Scotland - Stark Talk, Lorna Dawson

Edi meets Lorna Dawson, the principal soil scientist from the James Hutton Institute.

Edi meets Lorna Dawson, the principal soil scientist in the Environmental and Biochemical Sciences group at the James Hutton Institute.

Edi Stark’s guest is Prof Lorna Dawson, head of forensic soil science at the James Hutton Institute in Aberdeen. She grew up on a tattie farm in Angus, loving the books of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Now she is a sleuth herself digging up clues to help solve real life murder mysteries, sometimes many years after the crimes have occurred. As an expert witness, she regularly attends court and has worked on over 150 cases with police forces, agencies and lawyers across the UK and overseas and she’s much in demand with Crime writers and TV programmes as an adviser on how soil can leave its signature and point to whodunnit.
