A museum is a treasure chest not just of objects but of stories. At this closing event for the 26 Treasures project, four writers discuss how they tapped into the rich story of Scotland's past through objects that connect them not only to social, political, cultura and religious history, but to the powerful emotions of people who lived at the time.
