BBC Radio Scotland - Scotland's Black History, It Wisnae Us

Billy Kay discovers new aspects of Scotland's hidden black history.

Billy Kay discovers new aspects of Scotland's hidden black history in every part of the country, from Kinlochmoidart to Glasgow and Angus to Argyll.

The title is from a book by Dr Stephen Mullen of Glasgow University, and refers to people's denial when confronted with uncomfortable aspects of their history.

We look at initiatives like Flag Up Scotland/Jamaica with its chair Graham Campbell. In Angus, Lisa Simmons describes slaving voyages from Montrose and reveals connections between estates there and Jamaica, where slaves and their bairns are given names such as Dundee, Angus and Aberdeen.

Sheila Kidd of Glasgow University's describes the extensive use of Gaelic there and the huge proportion of subscriptions an important Gaelic dictionary received from Gaels making their wealth from slavery. Dr S Karly Kehoe also explores Highland connections and how slave tainted money supported major new institutions such as the Royal Northern Infirmary and the Royal Academies in Tain and Fortrose.. 

Artist Graham Fagen confronts our black history in exhibitions at the Venice Biennale and Hospitalfield House in Arbroath and we hear Reggae star Ghetto Priest sing Burns' song The Virginia Slave's Lament. At Hospitalfield Billy talks to Laura Simpson and historians Dr Michael Morris of John Moores University and Karen Salt of Aberdeen University and asks how this history fits into the identity of 21st century Scotland.

There's more up and coming talent as we meet singer songwriter MOMAC (Molly McDermott).

Following the death of satirist Peter Cook in 1995, his wife Lin closed up his house in London with everything inside, like a time capsule, and refused all access to the media. But this year she invited her friend Victor Lewis-Smith and a BBC crew to make a film about Peter Cook, with unprecedented access to Peter's private recordings, diaries, letters, photographs, videos and much more which were all as he had left them. The resulting documentary The Undiscovered Peter Cook is to be shown on BBC Four tonight and critic Paul Whitelaw will review it for us.
