Aberdeen is soon getting the Baird Family hospital for Maternity, Neonatal and Reproductive Medicine - but who were the Baird family and why is it named after them? Dr Alison McCall clues in Susan Morrison on Sir Dugald, his wife, Lady May Baird, son Professor David and daughter Dr Joyce Baird. From Simon Fraser University in Vancouver, Shauna Irani introduces Susan to Ned Burke, her favourite person from the poignant Jacobite collection of relics and accounts of sufferings ’The Lyon in Mourning’. Their website for their 'Lyon in Mourning' project is https://dhil.lib.sfu.ca/lyoninmourning/

And how did you tell the future in the past and what did people think about it? Dr Martha McGill of Warwick University has the answers.
