Welcome to season 2 of the Our Scotland podcast, with me, your host, Alison Fraser. We have a new name but the passion for all things Scotland remains. Going forwards you can expect to hear more about the perfect days in Scotland, you might get some ideas for a future holiday, add some Scottish fayre to your shopping list and discover some Scottish artists to listen to. We’re starting this season with a conversation with writer Barry Hutchison. Barry is a prolific author having published more than 100 titles for both children and adults.  He’s known by crime fiction fans as JD Kirk, the creator of DCI Jack Logan, and today his 19th Logan novel is published. That’s called Where The Pieces Lie and links to that are in the shownotes. You’re going to hear about much of that and more, as we discover where Barry would spend his ideal 24 hours in Scotland.
