Having only recently finished the Covenanters series, I wanted to dedicate an episode simply only to George "Bluidy" or "Bloody" MacKenzie and the legend surrounding his poltergeist.

Decide for yourself. Was he a good man?

This week in Scottish History sees TWO significant battle anniversaries!

Part I - The Battle of Pinkie Cleugh, which happened not far from where I live today in Musselburgh during the reign of Mary, Queen of Scots during the "Rough Wooing" that was instigated by King Henry VIII

Part II - The Battle of Stirling Bridge, involving Sir William Wallace and the unfairly forgotten Andrew Moray during the First War of Scottish Independence against King Edward I of England, "The Hammer of the Scots".

This week we have the tale of the two Maggie's.

When I read that I could tie these two extraordinary women together in one episode, I jumped at the chance!

First up is Margaret Dickson - knicknamed as "Half Hangit' Maggie" (half hanged Maggie for those not familiar with Scots).

And second of all is Margaret Todd.

One of these Maggie's, most Scots could tell you about. The other, many have never even heard her name before. Well, before now!

For centuries, Scotland has been a land of many voices. From the ancient tongues of the Picts to the modern revival of Gaelic and Scots, the story of Scotland's languages is also the story of the nation itself.

In this episode of the Scottish History Podcast, we trace the fascinating history of the languages spoken across Scotland over the last two thousand years. We'll explore the mysterious language of the Picts, the arrival of Gaelic from Ireland, the influence of Old Norse in the islands, and the emergence of Scots as the language of kings, poets and parliament.

Join us as we uncover the remarkable story of the languages of Scotland—a tale of conquest and migration, suppression and survival, and the enduring power of language to connect us with our past.

In this episode of the Scottish History Podcast, we travel across more than thirteen centuries of Scottish history to explore the lives of two remarkable Scots whose influence reached far beyond their homeland.

Our journey begins in the sixth century with Saint Columba, the Irish prince-turned-monk who crossed the sea to establish a monastery on the island of Iona Abbey.

The second half of the episode leaps forward to the nineteenth century and the life of James Clerk Maxwell, one of the greatest scientific minds in human history.

Join us as we explore the life and legacy of a saint who helped shape Scotland's soul and a scientist who helped unlock the secrets of the universe.

EPISODE 94 - JOHN MUIR & DAVID HUME

THIS WEEK IN SCOTTISH HISTORY

http://scothistorypod.com

http://patreon.com

Step into Scotland’s past and uncover the stories that shaped a nation.

The Scottish History Podcast brings history to life through engaging, narrative-driven episodes that explore Scotland’s kings and queens, battles and rebellions, inventions, disasters, and the everyday lives of its people. From the windswept Highlands to the bustling closes of Edinburgh, each episode delves into the moments—both famous and forgotten—that define Scotland’s rich and complex history.

With a style that is clear, immersive, and occasionally laced with light humour, the podcast is designed to be both informative and entertaining—whether you’re a lifelong history enthusiast or simply curious about Scotland’s past.

Episodes range from deep dives into iconic figures like William Wallace, Mary, Queen of Scots, and Robert the Bruce, to shorter features such as “This Week in Scottish History,” highlighting notable events, odd stories, and little-known facts.

New episodes are released regularly, making it easy to explore Scotland’s story one chapter at a time.

For this weeks episode, there was a couple of requests, so I decided to fulfill these before I forget!

First up, a request from Chuck Garnes, I talk about the bagpipes and give you a little background on them.

Next up, is the national flower of Scotland, The Thistle.

And finally, a request from (possibly) the youngest fan of the podcast, 4 Year old Finn Triggs-Miller! He requested I talk about the Unicorn, and why it is Scotlands national animal!
