Tha am 'M矛le R矛oghail' ann an D霉n Eideann na tharraing m貌r do na milleanan de luchd-turais a tha a' taghal air D霉n Eideann gach bliadhna. Le buscairean, b霉than agus clobhsaichean beaga dorcha air gach taobh dhen t-sr脿id, bidh t貌rr a' stad aig an taigh-seinnse ainmeil; Deacon Brodie's Tavern.
Ach saoil cia mheud dhiubh aig am bheil fios gun deach an "Deacon" fh猫in a chrochadh airson eucoir? Canaidh cuid gur ann air an duine seo a chaidh an leabhar ainmeil Dr Jekyll & Mr Hyde a st猫idheachadh. Ach c貌 bh'ann?
Agus carson a tha meas aig uibhir air, sa bhaile far an do rugadh e? Seo an sgeulachd aig William Brodie - duine aig an robh t貌rr ri chall... Le beachdan bho e貌laichean agus iomhaighean dr脿ma, air aithris le Iain Moireasdan.

Lots of visitors will stop for a refreshment at Deacon Brodie's Tavern, a popular landmark. But how many know that the real life "Deacon" was hanged for his crimes?
Who was the man who inspired Stevenson's Jekyll and Hyde? And why does he remain such a figure of affection, in the city of his birth? This is the story of William Brodie - the man who had everything to lose... With expert opinion and drama reconstruction, the programme is presented by John Morrison.
