Listen "Kinneil Estate: from Romans to racing drivers"
Episode Synopsis
Kinneil Estate in Bo'ness on the Forth Estuary is a brilliant place to discover history from Romans to the present day. With a Roman fortlet, a grand old tower house, the location of James Watt's original workshop, ruined villages, birdlife on the loch and much more, it's a great place for a day out discovering the area.
I met with Adrian Mahoney of the Bo'net group to find out all about the Estate and about it's tiny museum which is under threat. Join me on a grand day out!
