Could you live on a cruise ship?
Holidaying on a cruise ship is great
but living on one is even better –
especially when you consider that it
could be more affordable than the
rent or mortgage you’re paying on
land. Little wonder then that cruise
lines are reporting a growing trend
in passengers living permanently
at sea. Fancy following in their
footsteps and turning your life into
one long cruise? Gillian Carmoodie
has the lowdown on how you can
live the suite life on the high seas.
Witch hunt victim or maritime
criminal? Helen Duncan’s story
The last person to be convicted
under the Witchcraft Act of 1735,
Perthshire mother-of-six Helen
Duncan, predicted the sinking of
Royal Navy warship HMS Barham
before the news was made public.
Dubbed Hellish Nell, Duncan was
branded a traitor and jailed for nine
months. Calum Brown revisits her
astounding story.

water terminal allows up to 1,200
passengers to disembark at once,
sparking concerns that the island
will be swamped with visitors.
Calum Brown investigates.
