Mon, 15 Jun 2026 - 35min - 129 - Episode 109 - The History of Languages in Scotland
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.

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!
