Riddoch on a desert island

ACCLAIMED broadcaster and journalist Lesley Riddoch is to take part in a Desert Island Discs from Loretto School.

The event, in June, is part of the Loretto Lecture Series, which has seen events such as Mary, Queen of Scots’ Book of Hours return to Scotland after an absence of 400 years and speakers such as acclaimed peace activist Colin Parry.

Following the same format as the BBC Radio 4’s long- running show, Riddoch will be invited to imagine herself cast away on a desert island, and to choose eight pieces of music to take with her.
