À propos de ce contenu audio

 Exploring Britain’s furthest flung places — and the limits of one man’s knees. “More Than Words” chronicles a virtual expedition across Britain’s extremes — from the northernmost village to the southernmost settlement, with stops at the highest peak, the lowest fen, and several places that sound made up. It’s part fitness challenge, part cultural exploration, and mostly an excuse to write about obscure trivia, failed resolutions, and the joys of conditional formatting. Expect puns, ghosts, and reflections on the slow collapse of my joints.Gary Wilson Sciences sociales Écritures et commentaires de voyage

      Episode 9 - Tainspotting
      Dec 8 2025

      Stage 9 of More Than Words: “Tainspotting.”

      Because nothing says “Scottish coastal charm” like witch trials and a 3000-acre bombing range.

      Featuring:

      ⛳ A career-best immediately followed by an 18-hole existential crisis

      🌿 Gardening: the new contact sport🏰 Dunrobin Castle — Versailles with bagpipes and historical amnesia

      🪦 The Duke of Sutherland: statue, scandal, selective explosions

      🧙‍♀️ Scotland’s last witch trial (complete with DIY pony transformation)

      🛠️ Thomas Telford, the man who looked at hills and said “nah, straight through”

      🐺 Wolf Stones, Jurassic coal, and property developments named after swamp

      💣 Tain Air Weapons Range — nature reserve by day, Call of Duty map by night

      It’s golf, guilt, and Gaelic place-names you can’t pronounce without sounding drunk — all served with whisky, sarcasm, and a side of historical outrage.
