It's been 25 years since that iconic date of 9.9.99 - the North American launch of SEGA's final home console, the Dreamcast. Regular hosts Brian and Lewis are joined by special guests Derek Alexander (of the excellent Stop Skeletons from Fighting YouTube channel), and Brian's fiancé Katie, to hear them recount their earliest memories of owning the Dreamcast, and which games stood out to them the most. Also making an appearance on this episode is all-star Dreamcast hacker/translation patcher Derek Pascarella, who shares his story of pre-ordering the Dreamcast, and delves into what makes the console so special; while DCJY founder Tom Charnock crashes the party with a few words of his own to mark this landmark occasion.More to check out:Brian's US Launch Retrospective article from 2020 where he ranks the launch games from worst to bestDreamPod episode 124 - a 25 year anniversary audio retrospective of the Japanese Dreamcast launchBrian's 25 year anniversary retrospective article on the Japanese Dreamcast launchAn interview with Brian Bacino - the man behind the iconic "It's Thinking" Dreamcast sloganMusic featured in this episode:"Azure Blue World (Emerald Coast)" from Sonic Adventure"Big Apple" from Tokyo Xtreme Racer"All About Love" from Flag to Flag"The Air (Windy Valley)" from Sonic AdventureLooking for more Dreamcast Junkyard goodness?

Earlier this year, the National Trust for Scotland revealed that a Second World War plane propeller had been found on Arran. Mysteriously, the propeller was wrapped in an old potato sack and had been discovered deep in a peat bog. How did it get there? The Trust's Head of Archaeology, Derek Alexander, led an investigation to find out. He joins Jackie in the studio to discuss the surprisingly high number of wartime plane crashes and tragedies in Scotland, and the particular circumstances of 1944 which ultimately led to this propeller being hidden inside a sack.

Production is underway on the next full series of Love Scotland, but in the meantime, we're diving into the archives to highlight five of the top episodes of all time. This week, we're returning to two episodes that – when combined – offer a full look at the Massacre of Glencoe. Some 332 years ago this week, around 30 members of Clan MacDonald were killed by Scottish government forces, many while they slept. This tragic and bloodthirsty event was significant in Jacobean history and has had a long-lasting legacy. To find out more, Jackie is joined by Derek Alexander, NTS Head of Archaeology, and Scott McCombie, senior ranger. To find out more about Glencoe, click here. Next week, we revisit another dark chapter in Scottish history: the witch trials. New episodes of Love Scotland will return later in 2024.
Stories and songs of Scottish battles Earlier this year, to launch a new series of Love Scotland, Jackie recorded an episode in front of a live audience of National Trust for Scotland members in Aberdeen. Two of the nation's foremost experts on battles joined Jackie on stage to discuss some of the most significant historic conflicts as well as the people who fought in them. They are Alistair Moffat, the award-winning writer and historian whose new book, War Paths: Walking in the Shadows of the Clans, follows in the footsteps of Jacobite fighters and leaders from 1613 until 1746, and Derek Alexander, the National Trust for Scotland's Head of Archaeology. Their discussion covers the importance of the Highland charge, the two Jacobite campaigns, and the battles of Killiecrankie and Culloden. Former BBC Radio Scotland Young Traditional Musician of the Year finalist Iona Fyfe provides some musical interludes inspired by these battles.

Thousands of illicit distilling sites exist around Scotland. Derek Alexander and his team of archaeologists at the National Trust for Scotland have barely scratched the surface of the country's bothys, but their recent digs have uncovered some rare artifacts of illicit distilling's past. We'll catch up with Derek on this week's WhiskyCast In-Depth. In the news, The Balvenie's longtime Malt Master, David Stewart, is standing down after 47 years in the post. The UK, Australia, and New Zealand all raised liquor taxes this week, and Suntory is celebrating its 100th anniversary with a “tiny house” tour of America.
Glencoe in the Scottish highlands is a beautiful landscape with a dark past. While folks from all over the world travel to this beautiful valley to hike, in 1692 it was the site of a treacherous massacre that had repercussions for Scotland and England into the next century. Scottish government troops had been sent on orders from King William III of England, to make an example of the MacDonald clan who had missed the deadline to pledge their allegiance to him as the new monarch. Government soldiers were sent to the homes of the Macdonalds where they were billeted - given lodging and food by the locals. The Macdonalds shared their homes, food, stories and songs before the soldiers revealed their true purpose in Glencoe. 12 days after arriving, they received their true orders to annihilate the entire population of the glen. The clan chief Alexander, or McIan as he was also known, was killed along with more than 30 other men women and children. Others fled into the highlands, succumbing to exposure, but most escaped with their lives. Dan is in Glencoe with Lucy Doogan and Derek Alexander of the National Trust for Scotland to tell the tale of this tragedy, the traditions and history of this magnificent landscape and how it shaped Scotland's past and present. This special episode is made possible by The National Lottery. National Lottery players have supported over 48,000 heritage projects alone since the inception of The National Lottery in 1994. This includes supporting The National Trust for Scotland to help keep green and historic spaces like Glencoe open to the public. The National Trust for Scotland has received £37 million of National Lottery funding which enables them to preserve properties and natural spaces across Scotland that are of great historical and architectural importance.

Jackie Bird heads to Glencoe with the National Trust for Scotland's Derek Alexander and Lucy Doogan. To mark 330 years since the massacre of the MacDonald clan at Glencoe, Jackie Bird heads north to see how work on a recreated turf house will help to tell the full story of one of the most harrowing moments in Scottish history. On 13 February 1692 38 men, women and children were murdered in cold Scottish army companies of Argyll's Foot Regiment. For two weeks prior to the bloodshed, clan members had played host to the soldiers in their modest turf-dwellings on the slopes of the glen. As the Trust opens its faithfully restored turf house at the site, we hear how a better insight into the way the clans of Glencoe lived will bring the history of the massacre to new generations of visitors. Also in this episode, Cameron hears about a wonderful plaything on show at Helensburgh's Hill House.
The excisemen of Scotland's past never found all of the illegal whisky stills being used around the country, and traces of those illicit distilleries can be found to this day...if one knows where to look. Derek Alexander knows, and he's on a mission to uncover as much of that history as possible in his role as an archaeologist with the National Trust for Scotland. His search started two decades ago with a project to uncover remains of The Glenlivet's original distillery, and that project continues to this day as well, as he tells us on this week's WhiskyCast In-Depth. In the news, the wood was flying at the Kentucky Cooperage on New Year's Day, but it wasn't from the coopers...a tornado hit the cooperage with 100mph winds. We'll have the details on that and the rest of the whisky news for the first week of 2022, along with tasting notes and a debate over whether liquor stores should be jacking up the price of Pappy Van Winkle and other rare whiskies.

On this episode of the PastCast, Derek Alexander discusses the notorious Glencoe Massacre of 1692 and how recent archaeological fieldwork has shed new light on the 17th and 18th century remains in the area. Alexander is the Head of Archaeology at the National Trust for Scotland. He spoke with PastCast presenter, Calum Henderson. Glencoe is one of the most famous and beautiful valleys in Scotland but is also notorious for an episode of extreme violence in 1692, when dozens of members and associates of the Glencoe MacDonalds were killed by Scottish Government forces. While the area's history has been studied in detail, the physical remains of the early settlements have only just begun to be investigated. Alexander has written about the massacre and the recent fieldwork in the latest issue of Current Archaeology magazine, which is out now. His article is also available online at The Past website, along with exclusive extra content from our archives. The Past brings together the most exciting stories and the very best writing from the realms of history, archaeology, heritage, and the ancient world.
