In our First Tartan Trail episode we look at the myth behind the Bonnie Prince Charlie jacket, taste some very nice Aussie Whisky, talk to the organiser of the Saltire Wine Estate's Hunter Valley Highland Games and finish with a look at what's on in the Scottish-Australian scene in next few weeks. Join us on the Tartan Trail!

The Tartan Trail: From Scotland To Australia. A trail of heritage, heart, and Highland pride!

Welcome to The Tartan Trail. From Scotland to Australia, a living trail of heritage, heart, and highland pride. Since 1788 Scots have had an extraordinary role in the building of the Australian nation. From agriculture to engineering (of course!) to music and literature, Scots have shaped Australian life in an unmistakeable way.

The Tartan Trail follows the footsteps of those Scots who helped shape Australia and looks at their legacy today.

We will talk to Scots and their descendants to get a feel for the role of Scottish culture in today's Australia. And hopefully help people find their Scottish roots along the way.

We'll look at music, arts and crafts, food, dance, history, Highland gatherings and much more as well as talk to the people behind these aspects of Scottish-Australian culture.

We'll taste Whisky and give our (unique!) verdict on each dram and we'll tell listeners about upcoming Scottish events around the country.

So whether you're a Scot, a descendent of Scots, or just love the Scottish culture like we do, The Tartan Trail is for you!
