Consistently Eccentric History

1396 Perth Battle Royale - Red hot Clan on Clan action, now by Royal decree


Listen Later

This week we are heading back to the middle ages to tell the tale of the most bombastic end to a blood feud in Scottish history.


Not content to wait for the complex politics of the Clan system to resolve a dispute that had lasted for over 26 years, King Robert III decided to get a bit Roman and built a mini colosseum in Perth where the two sides could thrash things out (literally).


Featuring booze, blacksmiths and a cat's bot!


Guest Host: Ollie Green
