This week in Scottish History sees TWO significant battle anniversaries!

Part I - The Battle of Pinkie Cleugh, which happened not far from where I live today in Musselburgh during the reign of Mary, Queen of Scots during the "Rough Wooing" that was instigated by King Henry VIII

Part II - The Battle of Stirling Bridge, involving Sir William Wallace and the unfairly forgotten Andrew Moray during the First War of Scottish Independence against King Edward I of England, "The Hammer of the Scots".

This week we have the tale of the two Maggie's.

When I read that I could tie these two extraordinary women together in one episode, I jumped at the chance!

First up is Margaret Dickson - knicknamed as "Half Hangit' Maggie" (half hanged Maggie for those not familiar with Scots).

And second of all is Margaret Todd.

One of these Maggie's, most Scots could tell you about. The other, many have never even heard her name before. Well, before now!

Enjoy!
