Our Place Your Place - stories behind the names of where we live

An audio drama series following a recently-bereaved father and daughter making sense of their new circumstances through the stories behind the place-names in their locality. Being a second-generation Dutch family to a small Scottish Highland community, they find the old Gaelic place-names are about monks, traders, farmers, immigrants – people who could be just like them. This helps their grieving, and they re-name parts of the landscape with their own stories and memories.
