Close encounters of Edinburgh

SCOTSMAN.COM are proud to raise the curtain on a new experience in online publishing. Today marks the launch of our first-ever video podcast, where readers become viewers and witness the latest technology.

We couldn’t be more excited – and you should be too! – as this video podcast is believed to be the first produced by a British newspaper website exclusively for its audience. What makes this different from typical video on the web is that a video podcast captures the essence of the site – in this case the highly popular Heritage & Culture website from scotsman.com – and places the reader right in the middle of the story. Users of an iPod can view this podcast wherever, whenever they want. (See our FAQs for more on podcasting.)
Heritage and Culture is excited to offer you the chance to soak in the atmosphere for yourself. Choose from the options below to view the first-ever video podcast, presented by our very own reporter Diane Maclean.
