Jim & Pat’s Glasgow West End Chat
Technology:Podcasting
In this eposide of Jim & Pat's Glasgow West End chat Jim meets and talks with Jesper Ericson, the Curatorial Assistant at the Hunterian.
Apart from finding out about Jesper's background (his time in Sweden, Cambridge, Aberdeen, Edinburgh and now Glasgow) we talked about one of his recent exhibitions; the Scottish Coinage Exhibition. The use of coins in Scotland goes all the way back to the 12th century,
'you are not carrying a muckle great big coin around that will buy you three hundred chickens you can use a wee coin to buy one chicken. Scotland was quite advanced when it came to coins and coinage..'
This one is not to be missed. Thanks Jesper, it was great to meet and chat with you.
