Where in Edinburgh is The Golden Mile? According to the Australian Broadcasting Corporation the population of Scotland was queued up down it to invest their savings in the disastrous Darien Scheme of the late 1690s. The programme was Nobody Saw It Coming. It claims to reveal little known but world shaking events. So, their English expert had to claim that Darien has been airbrushed from Scottish history. I seem to remember it was taught in high school as one of the main reasons for the 1707 Treaty of Union. But how would someone educated in England know that? Nobody Saw It Coming started out as quite a promising series but as it goes on the claims being made and the quality of the research are becoming increasingly dubious. The Darien episode has moved it to possibly the worst ABC programme rebroadcast in Canada. But that's only because ABC sensibly recently axed the obnoxious Stop Everything. The English supposed expert was an archaeologist from the Royal Agricultural University. Stick to digging for spuds mate.
