It’s time to head out of Edinburgh from a day and take a trip out East Lothian for a story. Fin Ross talks to writer/director Shelley Middler about her new play ‘The Collie’s Shed’. We learn about East Lothian’s mining heritage, the effects of the pit closures on local communities across the county and the eerie parallels between politics then and now.
