A Wee Bit Gothic episodes

  • A Complicated Slice of Cheese (Glasgow Four & Colin Norris)

    Hello! 

    Apologies for the late episode but here we are back back back again. 

    This week we ask ourselves which period of Scottish history we would most like to get plonked in if the opportunity arose. 

    Hannah then talks about the pioneering women who infiltrated the historically male-only systems of Glasgow Uni and lovingly dubs 4 incredible women the Glasgow Four.

    Chris then talks about a man who was once referred to as an Angel of Death in the Dundee press; Colin Norris. Who inspired him and is he set of a release from prison?

  • It's a Buggy Buggy World (Lady Grange & SS Daphne Disaster)

  • Sitting in an Egg (Scottish Cotton Mills & Glasgow Ice Cream Wars)

    Well well well what have we here? Another episode? Fabulous.

    Hannah then talks us through the difficulties of working in factories amid the industrial revolution and the steps one man took to make things a bit better.

    Chris then offers to buy you all a 99 before turning on his heels in fear of the Glasgow Ice Creams wars, which ended in murder and a miscarriage of justice.

  • Practically Pickled (Eugène Chantrelle & St. Andrew’s Castle)

    Welcome back once again to another episode of A Wee Bit Gothic. 

    This week Hannah and Chris discuss which Google holes they've been stuck in in recent weeks. Chris also divulges the details about his escapades as the next Mary Poppins. 

    Hannah's story is about Eugene Marie Chantrelle. A man with eerie similarities to one Dr Pritchard from a previous episode. Eugene went on to inspire a someone to write a little book about the two sides within every man. 

    Chris then takes us up to the Kingdom of Fife to look at a castle steeped in history, soaked in blood and full of lost golf balls...probably.

  • The British Clone (Road Trip (Glenfinnan Viaduct, Glencoe Massacre, Eilean Donan Castle))
    Welcome back to another episode as Chris embarks on his third decade. Boke. 
    Things are a'changin'. Hannah returns to work and Chris is in crisis about his age. To distract ourselves we kick of proceedings with the usual hat question. This time we as ourselves which films we're embarrassed to admit we haven't seen, which segues beautifully into a preaching sesh from Chris about his main philosophy in life. 
    Hop aboard as we take you on a road trip mapped out by the very road trip Chris and Mrs Matthew Jones took for their birthday.

  • Touching All The Wood (Stirling Tolbooth & Griffiths and Wright Fairy Photos)

    Hello hello!


    This week out ramblings involve what's been getting us down this week, which movie scenes (NOT from horror movies) that give us the heebie jeebies and what strange reactions our bodies have to being swabbed!

    Hannah gives us the story of Scotland’s bizarre big cat sightings, and the sleekit’ feline soul-stealer that haunts the Highlands. 

    Chris then gives us the hidden history behind a landmark in Portobello. Medical mistakes, charges of homicide and exposed intestines all feature in the story of Dr Hugh Dewar. Not recommended for those with a sensitive stomach.
