[edit] Information

At a time when Scotland has its first ever female first minister, and when many other women are leading the way in politics and in our society generally, we take a look at the issue of equality for women in 2015. Christina McGonigle, who recently retired from her job as a lecturer at the University of Aberdeen, has long had an interest in the role of women in Scottish society and embarks on a special road trip to explore what's changed in the last century, both historically and culturally, and asks what the way ahead is. In Shetland, at the annual Up Helly Aa fire festival, the guizer jarl leads a fearsome squad of Vikings. For the first time ever on one island, this hugely prestigious role will be taken by a woman, Lesely Simpson. Christina also heads for Skye, where women are truly making their sporting mark in the previously male-dominated world of shinty.
