There is a story in Scotland of a woman who was buried alive. The legend of Mary Elphinstone is repeated across every village, town, and city in the country, but where does it come from? Did it really happen? And, perhaps more worryingly, was it common for people to actually be buried alive? This episode of Superstitions is usually only for Patreons but as a special treat, and to tide you over under season two continues next week, I've popped it online for everyone to enjoy.

In 1994, a group of activists tried to blow up a statue on Ben Bhraggie, overlooking the town of Golspie in Sutherland. In November 2011, some more activists tried to bring it down with chains. Neither attempt was successful, but each represented the deep rooted hurt that highland communities feel due to the brutality of the Highland Clearances. Last week I examined the Clearance story and picked apart the misconceptions, and discovered what the age of Clearance was really about. But this week I delve deeper, discovering how the British Empire and its horrific trade in slaves has connections to the Clearances, how our culture was made illegal by that same Empire, and how those ideologies may still exist today - forcing us perhaps into a new era of Clearance.Interviews in this episode:Dr Nicola Martin, historian from the University of the Highlands and Islands, specialising on British imperialism and highland culture.Dr Domhnall Uilleam Stiubhart, senior lecturer at Sabhal Mór Ostaig at the University of the Highland and Islands about Gaelic culture and highland history.Dr David Alston, historian and author with a research interest in highland history and Scotland's involvement in the slave trade.Dr Iain MacKinnon, historian and researcher for the centre of governance and land reform at Coventry UniversityMeg Bishop, National Secretary for Living Rent, Scotland's tenants unionAndy Whightman, Green MSP for Lothian and land reform activistRaoul Curtis-Machin, Operations Manager at Culloden Battlefield See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
In 1746, thousands of Jacobite soldiers were killed during a battle against the British at Culloden. One hundred years later, the clans are virtually gone, towns and villages have disappeared, and the highlands are owned by a handful of monied gentry. Today, only a pitiful few people own the millions of acres of land in Scotland, so what happened, and why? In the first of this two-part special, let's examine the Highland Clearances to find out the history of this extremely emotive part of Scottish history, what it means, and who, if anyone, is to blame.Interviews with:Dr Nicola Martin, historian from the University of the Highlands and Islands, specialising on British imperialism and highland culture.Dr Jim Hunter, historian from the University of the Highlands and Islands, and author of fourteen books on highland history and clearance.Dr Domhnall Uilleam Stiubhart, senior lecturer at Sabhal Mór Ostaig at the University of the Highland and Islands about Gaelic culture and highland history.Dr David Alston, historian and author with a research interest in highland history and Scotland's involvement in the slave trade.Dr Iain MacKinnon, historian and researcher for the centre of governance and land reform at Coventry University See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

In 1960, a poltergeist arrived in town. To the residents of Sauchie, a seemingly normal 11-year-old girl would move from Donegal in Ireland to live a seemingly normal life - attending brownies clubs, going to school, being a child.

This would be Scotland's first major witchcraft panic. At its epicentre a woman called Agnes Sampson would be convicted for conspiracy with the devil.
