This episode features former Makar of Scotland, Liz Lochhead, who can barely hide her excitement after viewing a handwritten letter from The Bard, which features one of his most loved poems. Former Scottish international and current Motherwell player/coach Leanne Crichton has a natural affinity for one of the biggest collections the library has in its archives, and writer and literary salon host Damian Barr revels in his love for the poetry of another former Makar, who also represents a new aspect of the National Library. Hosted by Julia Sutherland.
