Dane Love

The story of five amazing frauds and hoaxes, including four from Ayrshire, part of the author's The Man who Sold Nelson's Column and Other Scottish Frauds and Hoaxes. Dane Love has written about nineteen of the most audacious fraudsters in Scotland, including Arthur Ferguson, who sold Big Ben.

The Ayrshire stories are about the Buchanites, who started in Irvine, Rev Thomas Clifford of Ayr, The Burns Temple Hoax in Kilmarnock, and the Burns manuscript forgeries. Join us for an hour of subterfuge and skull-duggery in the company of one of Ayrshire's most accompished historians.
