Today we’re talking about Margaret Whigham, the it-girl of 1930’s, who became Mrs Sweeny with her first marriage - Cole Porter mentioned her in a song - and Duchess of Argyll with her second.
She is remembered today for a sex scandal initiated by the 11th Duke of Argyll during their divorce proceedings.
She is also responsible for restoring Inveraray Castle in Scotland; and
one can definitely credit Margaret with making waves when it comes to legislation against revenge porn.
And today we’re talking to Lyndsy Spence, who wrote a book on Margaret, published by The History Press.
