Scandals That Shocked Scotland

,

For anyone who missed the recent episode of The Scandals That Shocked Scotland, on BBC Scotland, featuring the story of our own Robert Brown, it can be viewed on the iPlayer until 4 February.

Telling the story of Robert’s wrongful conviction, 25 year imprisonment and eventual exoneration, it features a personal and insightful articulation of Robert’s own experience of what was done to him, and how it has shaped his thinking.

It’s well worth a look.
