Hugh Miller: the Victorian David Attenborough
Manage episode 434538958 series 2887481
Meet Hugh Miller: the man regarded as the David Attenborough of his day. Though often overlooked in the history books, this self-taught geologist helped to popularise natural history to his Victorian audience.
What did he help to discover about prehistoric Scotland? How were his scientific findings viewed by his peers? And why has he not remained better known?
Joining Jackie Bird this week is James Ryan, visitor services assistant at Hugh Miller’s Birthplace Cottage and Museum in Cromarty.
