Alistair Moffat – our own ‘hiking historian’, (and Scotland best-loved people’s historian) – is the subject of a screen interview for ITV’s news strand, Border Life, with fellow Borderer Fiona Armstrong. Together they talk about Alistair’s career as best-selling author, Director of the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, Head of Drama for STV, independent programme producer, founder of The Borders Book Festival, one of the great creative minds behind The Great Tapestry of Scotland and its new home in Galashiels. They explore history and DNA, Alistair’s great love of the Borders, his family and home. A winter-warmer filmed at Bowhill and in the Scottish Borders. Don’t miss it!

Watch here, right now, or catch up on ITV in the days before Christmas.
