Fundraising for Aids Orphan

If you’ve listened to our latest podcast on Alexander I of Scotland (if you haven’t then you can do so here), you’ll know that one of our listeners, Hannah Averill, is doing a three week trek to the base camp of Mount Everest in order to raise money for the charity Aids Orphan. She’s going to be listening to Rex Factor on her journey, which we reckon will be the highest altitude on earth that anyone’s listened to the podcast!

Hannah’s hoping to raise about £3,000 by mid-July and would really appreciate any support that anyone could offer. So, if you’d like to donate to this very worthy cause and help Hannah and Rex Factor get to Everest Base Camp, then please click the link below to visit Hannah’s fundraising page:

Duncan II (1094)

The death of Malcolm III in 1093 led to something of a succession crisis, with Donalbain taking the throne of his elder brother in place of Malcolm’s many sons. In 1094, Duncan II was the first of Malcolm’s sons to make war on uncle Donalbain, but would he be able to keep the old man off the throne? Listen to his episode here or read on for more information.
