Under The Sea
Fancy an underwater adventure? How about exploring the wreck of a German submarine that was sunk in the First World War?
Producer, Dan Holland, is completing a radio documentary called The Hunt for U12 which you'll be able to hear on Â鶹Éç Radio Scotland next month. During the course of his research he came across a rich collection of photographs and video which have now been made available here on the Scotland's History website. There's also an accompanying article telling the story of the U-Boat and and how it came to be found on the sea floor, 25 miles off the coast of Eyemouth.
Dan, I should explain, is a keen diver himself and is also a member of the lifeboat crew in Inverness. That explains his passion for this kind of programme.
The video (and above photograph) was provided by Graeme Govenlock. It gives you a fantastic view of the sunken sub inside and out. Also on the site is some bonus audio recorded by Dan.
The Hunt for U12 will be broadcast on Â鶹Éç Radio Scotland on 5th March at 11.30am
