THERE GOES CRAUFURDLAND

An audio drama combining fact and fiction, which tells the story of two Ayrshire families caught up in the 1745 Jacobite rebellion and its aftermath.

Craufurdland Castle in Fenwick, Ayrshire, keeps its secrets close. It has been held in the same family for almost two thousand years.  It is the early 1800s.  Janet Craufurd, Lady of the house, writes in her diary, charting the progress of renovations to the estate which has suffered years of neglect.

But Janet’s mind is not easy. She suspects that the house has its own story to tell – a story lost in a secret passage, in hidden rooms, in dusty books and neglected papers. And someone is watching her as she searches for answers; someone she cannot see but whose presence she senses as she works.

The story takes us back to the Jacobite rebellion of 1745, when the Earl of Kilmarnock and the Laird of Craufurdland found themselves on opposite sides.

There Goes Craufurdland is the final play in An Ayrshire Trilogy, three audio dramas which celebrate Ayrshire and its people. The Trilogy is supported by Creative Scotland.
