The Tower of London and its Mysteries, Prisoners and Executions

The Tower of London was built nearly 1000 years ago and, during its time, it has served many purposes. However, it is best known as a prison and place of torture and execution. We will hear about some of its most famous prisoners, including royalty and German spies, as well as details on a few of the 400 executions that took place there. And, of course, what visit to the Tower is complete without the mystery of the two princes?

Scotland: Monsters, Mountains and Tartan

Scotland: a country with stunning scenery, a history of battles, myths and legends and, of course, good old Nessie, the Loch Ness monster. This talk will dip into the history of the Clans and the tartan they wear. We'll explore some of the scenery we've seen in TV shows and movies. And, maybe we'll find out... does the monster exist?
