Generally Spooky History
Scotland’s history is full of spooky stories, ghoulish goings-on and magical mysteries. Join Highlander husband-and-wife team, Kieran and Eilidh, as they dive into the myths and legends of their homeland once a week. If you love learning about history, like settling in to listen to a good story, or just enjoy getting a little spooked, then this is the podcast for you.
Episodes
In today's episode, you'll hear the story of Rob Roy, the man, the myth, the legend. He was a successful clan leader and businessman turned outlaw and became a near-mythical figure in Scotland's history.
You'll also hear about the supposed hauntings of the 300-year-old Drovers Inn.
It feels great to be back, and we hope you enjoy it!
