In this special on-location episode of This Much Is True Crime, David and Martin take the podcast to the shadowy streets of Edinburgh.

Edinburgh may be beautiful, but beneath the surface lies a far darker past. In this episode, we dig into the city’s long history of public hangings, brutal justice, and the crimes that once shocked Scotland. Standing in the very places where crowds gathered to watch executions, we ask: who were the people sent to the gallows, what did they do, and how did these grim spectacles become part of everyday life?

Join us as we uncover the darker side of Edinburgh, one step, and one chilling story, at a time.
