Project Scotland

As a partner in the British Empire, Scotland began the 20th century with an advanced economy and a world beating heavy industry. But come the closing decades, its sense of Britishness was in doubt and a Scottish Parliament sat in Edinburgh for the first time since 1707. Charting what was probably one of Scotland's darkest centuries, Neil Oliver discovers a country driven to self-determination through a series of economic crises so deep, that her most striking export became its own disillusioned population.

Just up the river from our nation's capital lies a hidden gem—Potomac, Maryland.

Sprinkled throughout this community are a handful of old-line, wealthy African-American families who have historically broken racial barriers to provide a life of privilege for their children. The Real Housewives of Potomac follows the upscale lives of six intriguing, well-to-do women: Gizelle Bryant, Katie Rost, Karen Huger, Charrisse Jackson-Jordan, Robyn Dixon, and Ashley Darby, all of whom have fought for their places in this society by way of legacy or marriage. In a town where entry is granted only through class, pedigree, and lineage, how far will these ladies go to secure their spot at the top of this prestigious circle?
