    Read excerpt

    IT’S an often overlooked area of Scotland yet the northeast coast of Aberdeenshire, Angus and Moray is a treasure trove of wildlife and stunning views. These are now highlighted in a new book by naturalist Keith Broomfield called Where A Cold Light Falls. Having recently published the popular Wild Edinburgh, a study of the city of his youth, the wildlife writer has now turned his attention to this sometimes forgotten corner of Scotland.

    Mary Beard to investigate shocking Roman murder mysteries in Glasgow show (opens the original)

    RENOWNED historian Mary Beard will turn true crime sleuth when she returns to the Glasgow stage next month. “I’m going to investigate a couple of cold cases from the ancient world,” she told the Sunday National. “What is amazing is that one of the commonest survivals from the Roman world are tombstones and how often they say, ‘this person was murdered’.” Beard is returning to Glasgow after her sold-out 2025 tour, and this time she will be side-stepping the Roman emperors to focus on the ordinary

Charles Darrow was the first person to make a million from a board game but it was actually the pioneering feminist and economist, Lizzie Magie, who invented The Landlord’s Game that became Monopoly.
