This week I go back to the Victorian Era and the wonderful Innerleithen Alpine Club. We learn about the clubs polymath firs t President and local master builder Robert Mathison, as well as the excursions they undertook and the legacy left behind.

I hope you enjoy this weeks episode and should you wish to learn more, you can find the Principal Excursions of the Alpine Club in the reference section of Innerleithen, Peebles, Selkirk and Hawick libraries, free for all to read.

See you next week on the podcast.
