This week in Scottish History, saw the disaster of the sinking of HMS Otranto.

This would be the second American Troop ship that would sink off the coast of the Island of Islay in 1918.

Hundreds of dead American soldiers, and one small island, off the West coast of Scotland.

This episode tells the stories of both ships, the American lives lost and the monument by which we remember them.

Enjoy!

This is part 1 of a Spooky Scotland series for Spooky Month leading up to Halloween!

The stories this week are 2 stories from Edinburgh - there's no better place to start in my opinion!

So we have the stories of Thomas Weir, better known as the "Wizard of the West Bow".

And then the story of Mary King's Close!

Enjoy!

Having only recently finished the Covenanters series, I wanted to dedicate an episode simply only to George "Bluidy" or "Bloody" MacKenzie and the legend surrounding his poltergeist.

Decide for yourself. Was he a good man?

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".
