Bruce Keith is a retired chartered surveyor and environmentalist, having started his professional career working on several Perthshire and Aberdeenshire estates and in Edinburgh with the Department of Agriculture. Bruce moved south of the border to Peterborough in 1996 as Chief Surveyor with English Nature, but kept his Scottish connections, retiring ten years ago as Head of Property at SSE (the Hydro Board). In his retirement, Bruce has researched and written three books combining his passion for Scottish history, geography and landscape with his interest in heritage conservation. This morning Bruce takes us on a journey with his most recent book, “Scotland beneath the surface”, celebrating the subterranean wonders under our feet.
A subterranean odyssey exploring the natural and man-made heritage under our feet – from natural caves to mining to hollow mountains to generate hydro-electric power and much else asides.
