North By North East

Dr Nina Baker describes sites which are relevant to the life of Dorothee Pullinger, engineer, in and around Paisley.

The Glasgow Riverside Transport Museum has a green Galloway coupe car. At the time of making this recording in autumn 2018, the car is not on display as it has been withdrawn for maintenance before being put into a special display in 2019. There are thought to be 3 other Galloway cars in Scotland, two in private hands and a 4-door saloon Galloway owned by the Myreton Motor Museum, in East Lothian, but not currently on display.

Join us on an audio tour of the key defences through the ages, from Hadrian’s Wall to Carlisle, Norham, Berwick and Dunstanburgh Castles, and find out what happened to them during peacetime until war broke out across Europe.
