Generally Spooky History

Hot off the presses we have a spooky castle for you today!

Crathes is regularly touted as the National Trust's most haunted location. For those of you who watched the September Vlog, you'll know we got to visit. And today, we're sharing the full story!

Tune in for our oldest history yet, and the two ghostly ladies who are thought to haunt Crathes castle.

Enjoy!

We're keeping things spooky! 

This week, Eilidh is telling us about the spooky and haunted Jeburgh Castle jail. It has a super interesting history but we spend almost as long talking about the spooky evidence that people have captured there.

Hey, thanks for stopping by!

This is Generally Spooky History, where we take a deep dive into Scottish history and its spooky tales.

You should know that we do things a little differently here. We do your usual podcast things: banter; have fun; complain about the patriarchy, but what we really love to do is take our time.

We’re in no rush when it comes to a good story, and you don’t need to be either. So come and join us for a couple hours! 

If hearing about the interesting, unbelievable and sometimes grisly parts of history is your jam, then you’ll fit right in and we’d love to have you.

Thousands of others have listened and are already hooked. You don't want to miss out. Listen now.

Much love,

Kieran and Eilidh
