This episode of the Scottish English Podcast dives deep into the untold stories of black Jacobites during the 17th and 18th-century uprisings in Scotland.

We'll explore how black individuals became entwined in the Jacobite cause, challenging traditional narratives of this historic rebellion.

Through the lens of figures like Scipio Kennedy, we'll unpack the complexities of Jacobitism and its ties to empire, slavery, and global migration.

Join me as I discuss these overlooked voices and examine how their experiences reshape our understanding of Scottish history.
