In the mid 17th century
Scotsmen became active in the Canadian fur trade. Locked in a wilderness thousands of miles from home, separated from their families, they developed complex liaisons with the Canadian Indians. These relationships matured, in isolation, until Scottish women made the arduous transatlantic journey and began to penetrate the Canadian forests. They disturbed an already delicate cultural balance.

First Lady of the Revolution Rosario Murillo is the extraordinary wife of Nicaragua's President Daniel Ortega.
Educated in a convent in Devon and a Swiss finishing school, she's an unlikely revolutionary and the most flamboyant of all the Sandinista leadership. David Henshaw went to
Nicaragua to meet Rosario - poet, cultural commisar and queen of style.
The Sandinistas' 'First Lady' challenges any neat black and white views of what is going on in Nicaragua. The story of Rosario Murillo is the story of a revolution without rules. Written by DAVID HENSHAW Producer JULIE SIMMONS BBC Manchester
