  • Episode 105 - The Witch Trials
    May 28 2026

    Hello!


    In what is possibly one of the single most requested episodes since I started doing the podcast (it's only taken me like 5 years to get round to it!) we finally learn about the witch trials.

    How did they start? How did they end? What happened in between?

    Well, hopefully all is answered in this episode of The Scottish History Podcast.

  • Episode 102 - Battle of Dunnichen and Captain Kidd
    May 20 2026

    A bit of a late one this week - but better late than never!


    This week in Scottish History brings us the anniversary of the battle of Dunnichen between the Picts and the Northumbrians.


    We also mark the death of Captain William Kidd in 1701. The is likely an influence for Robert Louis Stevenson's book "Treasure Island".
