A bonus length episode, at almost 27 minutes,  this is a true story from Inverkeithing's past: of dark deeds, and surprising twists. 

A murder by a member of the gentry of  Inverkeithing's apparently honest, respectable and harmless school master. The accused took flight, was however brought to trial in Edinburgh, found guilty and sentenced to death. The events that follow are no less extraordinary. 

The lives of the ordinary people involved in the matter are also intriguing, and humbling too: of debts repaid, adversity overcome, and a Burgh Council that acted honourably to support the murder victim's widow. 

The guest contributors are Claire Webb and Marion Watt, who have been doing extraordinary and valuable work as two of the volunteers on the Inverkeithing Heritage Regeneration project.
