Hi and welcome to episode 2 of Scots Spill the Beans.

I am Kim McAllister and today I’ll take you back in time in Edinburgh with Christina Thomson.

If you've ever watched 'Call the Midwife' you will love Christina's stories of district nursing in 1960s Edinburgh. From the uniforms that garnered universal respect to the communities who lived in the Royal Mile tenements, Christina paints vivid pictures.

Listen for a true flavour of Scotland's capital city 50 years ago.
