Radio historian John Dunning described Scotland as "a satin-tongued cutie, quick on the uptake".[1] In one episode, she became excited to find that the man who wanted her to investigate threats on his life was handsome, but the excitement turned to disappointment when he was killed. Before the half-hour had ended, she used "a combination of charm and quick thinking" to solve the case.[4]
