'Sleep Came Early' is part of the series A Year in Scotland. This is the April episode.

Join me for a journey to Helensburgh on the Firth of Clyde and let's explore Scotland in April, the month of "hanami" and a sleepy Cailleach.

In this story, we travel to the Victorian seaside resort of Helensburgh, we'll dive into the backstory of this coastal town and its illustrious inhabitants. We indulge in "hanami" (the Japanese art of flower viewing), visit Hill House, and round off our day out at sea.

Visit my website to find the full show notes incl. the transcript, photos from my trip and links to all the places & resources I mention in this episode.
