We asked Instagram historian Beth Reid five questions and challenged her to answer each in one minute or less. Here are the questions:
- If you could meet one person from the Scottish Wars of Independence, who would it be?
- What's your second favourite era of Scottish history?
- If you had to recommend one place in Scotland for our listeners to visit, what would it be?
- You have to recommend one book about Scottish history for our listeners to read - what is it?
- Forgetting about history for a second, what's the most beautiful place you've ever visited in Scotland?
