TSHP15 FOR 15% OFF YOUR RABBIE'S TOUR AT RABBIES.COM This week in Scottish History marks the death of Thomas Cochrane. An incredible navy man who fought for Britain, Chile, Peru and Greece. He was fiery, and involved in a scandal that threatened to ruin him completely. A story I have wanted to tell for a long time, as there is an impressive bust of him in Culross, Fife. I remember having Chilean passengers on an Outlander tour who recognised him instantly!
