If you are a historian and have a subject you would like to present, please do get in touch. I am always looking for new guests and content on my YouTube Channel WW2TV I'm especially looking for Masters/PhD candidates and graduates, and as always more women talking about war stuff!

Farming Yesteryear at Scone Palace is a gathering of (mostly) vintage agricultural kit with lots and lots of car clubs and militaria. I regularly chat to these folk depicting a Canadian Lumber Corps based in Scotland during 2WW.
