Palace plans found in park
A set of architectural drawings of the Palace of Holyroodhouse, the Queen’s official residence in Scotland, have been found on a footpath in the Roseburn area of Edinburgh. Security around the Palace has been increased and a full investigation has been launched into the source of the document. The plans were found by a journalist who was walking her dog along the path leading to the Water of Leith. The plans appear to show the whole of the Palace, including the private quarters of the Royal family, and have now been returned to security staff. A spokesperson said “We acknowledge this has been a security breach which we are taking very seriously and are currently investigating.”
This is an introductory instalment of the “Some Other Scotland” podcast, explaining what is different about it from other podcast fiction you may have read.
Polls will normally be posted on Sunday nights at the end of the news week. You have one week to vote, but early voting gives me advance warning of the final outcome which means more time to write!
Podcasts will be available up to one week later, by Sunday night at the latest.
Feedback about the podcasts or ideas for involving listeners other than the polls are welcomed. Please contact me either by leaving a comment below or emailing me at mickbordet @ gmail . com.
I have kept this introduction short so that, if you want to build up the story over the weeks as a collection of mp3 files, you can quite easily leave this one out without losing any of the story or having this background detail included in your collection.
I hope you enjoy the journey through an alternative Scottish 2009, starting with the first full podcast very soon.
The music for this podcast is from the track “No Strings Attached” by The Lunacy Board, who can be found at www.lunacyboard.com
