Show Notes

In this time of COVID19 and staying at home (if you happen to be at home with more than just yourself) you might be finding family harmony is getting a little rough around the edges. Amy has the perfect solution for you, the Scottish tradition of the Isle of Discussion.

 

The Isle of Discussion, or Eilean a' Chomhraidh can be seen on the left. Disputants were left on the island to settle their differences over whiskey and cheese.
