Your new podcast obsession

Wife-and-husband Highlanders Eilidh and Kieran tell deeply involving stories of Scottish history and places with healthy doses of ghost stories and the personalities that make history come alive, along with engaging folklore from time to time. We discovered this pod through the onboard entertainment on a British Airways flight. You’ll cringe, you’ll laugh out loud, you’ll want to reach for a cup of tea or something stronger.

I found this while searching for a pod on Sawney Bean and I have been hooked since that first ep!
