This week, St Giles himself is the topic of the podcast, as we take a look at the saint whose legend made its way from Athens to France, Rome, the Rhineland, and finally Edinburgh. Who was he, and what does he mean to us today?’ This was originally supposed to be put out earlier this month, but some technical difficulties have delayed it. Anyway, enjoy!
