At the stroke of Midnight on August 14th 1967, a dream came to an end for Tommy Shields, the Managing Director of Offshore Pirate Radio Station - Radio Scotland. Coming on air on New Years Eve 1965, Radio Scotland was the only Pirate north of the border, and during it's short life, the station suffered from a number of problems, ranging from a poor signal to its target area, to having the ship towed round the coast of Scotland in search of a more suitable anchorage. The station was off air for a considerable amount of time, and advertising revenue suffered badly as a result. Tommy Shields had done his best to make the station a hit with listeners, but the constant breakdowns, and loss of programmes frustrated listeners, and Radio Scotland closed on Monday August 14th, never having fulfilled his aim of a truly independent radio station for Scotland. Indeed, he was so devasted by the loss of his beloved station, he died a broken man only months later. Here then is the final hour from Radio Scotland - running time : just over an hour - Audio quality - fair, but as you would expect from a recording of over 40 years old
