Episode 85: Jeanie Seton. This week Emma takes a trip back in time to bring us the story of Jeanie Seton and the Murder of Ratho in the year 1864.
We hear how Jeanie was killed in a crazed attack by George Bryce - a former love interest of a friend of Jeanie's - who blamed her for the breakup of the relationship.
Emma describes how - after a failed plea of insanity - George was sentenced to death and would go on to have one of the most infamous executions in Scottish history.
