This week's guests are Calum MacDonald and Inge Birnie, who discuss works including travel writing, eclectic fiction set here at home and further afield and an historical account of events which shaped the Highlands.

Calum hails from North Uist and made his home in Glasgow whilst studying Gaelic at the University of Glasgow. He now works as an actor and TV presenter. Ingie is from the Netherlands and now lectures at the University of Strathclyde in teacher training courses and also works at an international level to develop language learning strategies for children.
