Talking Galloway Podcast Episode One: Jo Jackson

Talking Galloway Podcast Episode Four: Paul Goodwin

In this Episode we talk to Paul Goodwin, author of Last Flights which details Military Air Crash sites in and around the Glenkens. Paul has also been involved with Mountain Rescue in Galloway, the Glenkens Gazette and we also talked to him a little bit about Elspeth McEwan, Galloway's last woman executed for Witchcraft. We will be talking to Paul again later in the year about his other area of local expertise, War Monuments. We also spoke to McNabb Laurie about the Storyteller - a wooden sculpture recently installed on Waterside Hill along the Southern Upland Way with a witch connection herself, and took a walk out to some crash sites with Bob Peace.
