Welcome to Our Scotland, the podcast where we take 24 hours in Scotland, add in teleportation, time travel and anything else we please to conjure up the day of our dreams.  My name is Alison Fraser and in this episode I’m joined by Professor Colin Campbell. Colin is a professor at the University of Edinburgh where he is head of organic chemistry in the School of Chemistry.  Colin is also a musician currently producing an album inspired by one of his favourite places in Scotland, which you will hear more about.
