    Migration.

    Migration, both into and away from Scotland, has been integral to the shaping of our nation. Family research carried out in Scotland more often than not leads the genealogist to records overseas, while many a family tree around the world has its roots firmly embedded in Scottish soil.

    In this, the first programme in the new series, Claire White and resident genealogist Bruce Durie are joined by guest family history expert Dr Billy Kenefick. Together they hear tales of how Scotland has been shaped by a population in constant flux.
