The Scottish History Podcast brings history to life through engaging, narrative-driven episodes that explore Scotland’s kings and queens, battles and rebellions, inventions, disasters, and the everyday lives of its people.

With a style that is clear, immersive, and occasionally laced with light humour, the podcast is designed to be both informative and entertaining—whether you’re a lifelong history enthusiast or simply curious about Scotland’s past.

Episodes range from deep dives into iconic figures like William Wallace, Mary, Queen of Scots, and Robert the Bruce, to shorter features such as “This Week in Scottish History,” highlighting notable events, odd stories, and little-known facts.

New episodes are released regularly, making it easy to explore Scotland’s story one chapter at a time.
