Over the next twelve days we'll be looking back at ³ÉÈËÂÛ̳ Radio Scotland's events, interviews, sessions and features from 2011 as featured on this blog, and reminding you of some of the great content still available via the website.
Our look back begins in January 2011...
Scotland's biggest music festival, Celtic Connections, takes place every January in Glasgow. ³ÉÈËÂÛ̳ Scotland hosted a number of shows during the event from Pacific Quay and our Celtic Connections website was the home to videos, photographs and reviews from the festival.
Shereen Nanjiani had some interesting guests on her programme during January including Irish singer Mary Coughlan, photographer Gordon Buchanan and American author David Shenk. It's still possible to hear extended versions of all of these, and many more of Shereen's interviews.
³ÉÈËÂÛ̳ Radio Scotland's genealogy show Digging Up Your Roots returned for a new series in January. Dr Bruce Durie, Course Director, Genealogical Studies at the University of Strathclyde and co-presenter of the series shared some of his top tips to help you get started tracing your family ancestry on the blog.
Also in January we lost singer Gerry Rafferty, revamped our local news pages and celebrated 250 years since the birth of Robert Burns - The Complete Burns.
