Memory 6 - 1000 Years of Scottish History and the Future of Scotland

In these ‘Memories’ episodes, Emma has selected some of her most treasured memories from the Duchess podcast. On this week’s Memory, we look back to when the Duchess met Catherine Maxwell Stuart of Traquair House and spoke about the 1000 years of Scottish History at the estate and the future of Scotland going forward. In the full episode, we learn what it’s like to be the first Lady Laird of Traquair, we hear the tale behind the famous ‘closed gates’ of Traquair (and why tradition states they must always remain closed), and Catherine educates the Duchess on the most important feature of a Scottish home: A watchtower.
