It's the Second Doctor's second story, and he's already cross-dressing, bashing heads, and doing the worst German accent this side of Oktoberfest. The Highlanders is a story where the Doctor flails through post-regeneration weirdness while Ben, Polly, and proto-companion Jamie navigate the aftermath of Culloden and a plot to sell Scots into slavery. With violent slapstick, dodgy disguises, and an unexpected showdown on a boat, this might be the most violent—and historically faithful—Doctor Who story ever made. But does the Randomizer's gift of Jamie McCrimmon come wrapped in tartan triumph… or just more post-battle trauma?Give your own rating for The Highlanders on Spotify!Subscribe to our YouTube Channel and become a True Companion of the podcast to get new episodes before everyone else!Subscribe to our newsletter at pulltoopen.net for extended notes on The Highlanders.Support the podcast by becoming a patron of Pull To Open on Patreon.Please review Pull To Open on Apple Podcasts.Timeline:Intro 00:00:00Previously… 00:03:05Whomoji Challenge 00:07:07POLL to Open 00:13:23TL;DW 00:19:55Commentary: The Highlanders 00:22:26History Corner 00:47:20Four Questions to Doomsday 01:02:08What If the Evil Plot Had Succeeded? 01:05:13Where Is the Clara Splinter? 01:09:10Final Judgment 01:12:57Randomizer! 01:17:14Follow us on:TikTok: @pulltoopenInstagram: @pulltoopen63Facebook: @pulltoopen63X: @pulltoopen63Threads: @pulltoopen63Bluesky: @pulltoopenPlay Pull To Open BingoStory EssentialsSeason 4, Serial 4Story number: 30, per the The Pull To Open CodexWriters: Elwyn Jones, Gerry DavisDirector: Hugh DavidScript Editor: Gerry DavisProducer: Innes LloydAired 17 December 1966–7 January 1967Pull To Open: The HighlandersSeason 7Episode 2Hosts: Pete Pachal and Chris TaylorMusic: Martin West/Thinking Fish©️AnyWho Media LLC 2026Doctor Who ©️BBC 1963

Send us a textWelcome Micah!Discovering the Legacy of William Grant & Sons: A Journey Through WhiskeyNestled in the heart of Scotland, William Grant & Sons is synonymous with quality and craftsmanship in the whiskey industry. As the third-largest producer of Scotch whisky globally, the company has a rich heritage and a passion for distilling that spans over a century. Let's delve into what makes William Grant & Sons a standout in the world of spirits and uncover some intriguing stories behind their distillery.The story of William Grant is deeply intertwined with Scottish heritage. Descended from Clan Grant, known for its involvement in the Jacobite rebellion, William Grant's lineage adds a layer of intrigue to the distillery's narrative. One notable ancestor, Alexander Grant, famously escaped the battle of Culloden, embarking on a journey that would eventually lead to the creation of exceptional whiskey.William Grant & Sons began its journey in 1887 with the distillation of Glenfiddich, which has since become one of the most recognizable single malt Scotch whiskies in the world. Following its success, the distillery expanded its portfolio to include Balvenie, showcasing its commitment to quality craftsmanship and tradition.Today, the distillery boasts an impressive range of brands, including:Fistful of Bourbon: Their only bourbon, crafted with a unique blend of five straight bourbons.Hendrick's Gin: An innovative spirit that combines cucumber and rose, redefining classic gin.Tellamour DEW: Acquired for €171 million in 2010, adding a distinctive flavor to their collection.Famous Grouse and Naked Malt: Popular choices among whiskey enthusiasts.Among the standout offerings from William Grant & Sons is Monkey Shoulder, a blended malt Scotch whisky that was introduced to the market in 2003. It's crafted from a mix of three signature single malts, making it a delightful middle ground between single malt and blended Scotch.What sets it apart: Unlike blended Scotch, which can include grain whisky, Monkey Shoulder is strictly a blended malt, ensuring a richness and depth of flavor that appeals to many palates.Perfect PairingsFor those looking to elevate their Monkey Shoulder experience, consider pairing it with Cornell & Diehl's Crosseyed Cricket pipe tobacco. This combination allows for a delightful exploration of flavors, enhancing the whiskey's richness.ConclusionWilliam Grant & Sons is not just a distillery; it's a testament to the artistry, heritage, and spirit of Scotland. From its storied past with Clan Grant to its impressive lineup of whiskies, including the delightful Monkey Shoulder, the distillery invites you to explore and savor its offerings.Research Sourceshttps://www.monkeyshoulder.com/en-us https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monkey_Shoulder https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Support the showWebsite:www.whiskeychaserspod.comFacebook:https://www.facebook.com/whiskeychaserspodcastInsta:https://www.instagram.com/whiskeychaserspodcast/TikTok:https://www.tiktok.com/@whiskeychaserspodcastThanks For Listening!

Agradece a este podcast tantas horas de entretenimiento y disfruta de episodios exclusivos como éste. ¡Apóyale en iVoox! ¡Bienvenidos a este nuevo episodio! Hoy nos sumergimos en las brumosas Tierras Altas de Escocia para desvelar el origen y el profundo significado cultural de una de las prendas más icónicas y malentendidas del mundo: el Kilt. Más que una simple "falda", el kilt es un símbolo de identidad, resistencia y la historia militar de los clanes escoceses. En este episodio, viajaremos a los siglos XVI y XVII para conocer a su verdadero antecesor: el Gran Kilt (Feileadh Mòr), una ingeniosa pieza de lana de hasta ocho metros de largo que servía como vestimenta diurna, manta nocturna y escudo improvisado. 📜 Puntos Clave que Exploraremos: Antecedentes Gaélicos: ¿Cómo vestían los Highlanders antes del kilt? Descubrimos la Léine de lino azafrán y la importancia del Brat (la capa) en la supervivencia en el duro clima montañoso. La Evolución Industrial: La inesperada figura de un industrial inglés, Thomas Rawlinson, y su sastre, Iain MacIntyre, que separaron el Feileadh Mòr para crear el Kilt Pequeño (Feileadh Beag) por motivos de seguridad laboral. La Prohibición de 36 Años: El momento más oscuro y decisivo en la historia del kilt. Explicamos la Ley de Proscripción de 1746 impuesta por el gobierno británico tras la Batalla de Culloden, y cómo la prohibición convirtió al kilt en un ferviente símbolo de resistencia cultural y martirio. El Sistema del Tartán: Desmitificamos la conexión entre el tartán y el clan. Exploraremos cómo los patrones regionales de los tintes naturales se transformaron en un rígido sistema de identidad genealógica en el siglo XIX, impulsado por el romanticismo y la realeza británica (Jorge IV y la Reina Victoria). El Highland Dress Completo: Analizamos los accesorios esenciales que hacen del kilt un traje formal: el Sporran (la bolsa frontal), el Sgian-Dubh (el cuchillo ceremonial) y las reglas de protocolo que rigen su uso hoy en día. Acompáñanos a desenmascarar las capas de historia que envuelven a esta prenda. Si te apasiona la historia militar, la moda con trasfondo cultural o los orígenes de las tradiciones nacionales, este episodio es para ti. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 🎧 Antena Historia te regala 30 días PREMIUM Disfruta de todo el contenido sin interrupciones y con ventajas exclusivas en iVoox: 👉 https://www.ivoox.com/premium?affiliate-code=b4688a50868967db9ca413741a54cea5 📻 Producción y realización: Antonio Cruz 🎙️ Edición: Antena Historia 📡 Antena Historia forma parte del sello iVoox Originals 🌐 Visita nuestra web: https://antenahistoria.com 📺 YouTube: Podcast Antena Historia 📧 Correo: antenahistoria@gmail.com 📘 Facebook: Antena Historia Podcast 🐦 Twitter: @AntenaHistoria 💬 Telegram: https://t.me/foroantenahistoria 💰 Apoya el proyecto: Donaciones en PayPal 📢 ¿Quieres anunciarte en Antena Historia?

Fiume o morte! je vzklik protofašista, megalomana, samodržca in pesnika Gabrieleja D'Annunzia, s katerim je po prvi svetovni vojni okupiral Reko in navdihnil naslednje fašistično razdejanje Evrope. V bistvu navdihuje še danes, ko je politični teater absurda z relativizacijo zgodovine in ponovnim vzponom fašizma vred preplavil ves svet. Zato dokumentarni film Fiume o morte! nikakor ni le zgodovinski film, ampak še kako aktualna analiza današnjosti, ki se sprašuje, v kakšni obliki se pojavlja danes in kako se mu zoperstaviti. Igor Bezinović, tudi sam Rečan, je vzel ta vzklik in pompozno performativnost fašizma, ki jo simbolizira, ter ju obrnil proti njemu samemu. Tako da je v vlogo D'Annunzia in njegovih fašistov postavil današnje Rečane ter z njimi ponovno uprizoril to neslavno poglavje v zgodovini mesta. Z veliko mero humorja in z več kot le zrnom soli fašistični teater absurda vzame tako resno, da postane sam svoja parodija. Nekako po zgledu Žižka, ki pravi, da se zgodovina ponavlja, najprej kot tragedija in potem kot farsa, a s pomembno nadgradnjo. Realnim ljudem, ki živijo s to zgodovino, je dal moč, da jo sami izživijo, interpretirajo in subvertirajo. Rezultat je fascinanten kolaž zgodovinskih podob in njihovih ponovnih uprizoritev, ki vibrira v ritmih odlične glasbe in pristne človeške energije. Tako kot fašizem, ki povsod ponovno dviga glavo, živi tudi odpor trdoživih ljudi, ki so ga enkrat že premagali in so ga zmožni vedno znova, če le dobijo glas in stopijo na oder zgodovine. Kjer so odpovedale oblike upora, ki so se jemale skrajno resno, preresno morda, je mogoče odgovor ljudski, človeški karnevalski duh. In ta veje iz Bezinovićevega dokumentarca na vsakem koraku. Dokler dejansko ne preraste v karneval, praznik mesta, ki slavi samo sebe, namesto kakšnega samooklicanega pomembneža. In da ne bo pomote, filmu ob vsem naštetem nikakor ne manjka resne zgodovinske analize, le da je ta zapakirana v živo, pristno celoto. Takšno, ki ni še ena suhoparna študija ali neprepričljiva moralka, pretvorjena v avdio in video format. Fiume o morte! je hrvaški Culloden, film, ki zgodovino obrne na glavo, oziroma bolje rečeno: nazaj na pravo mesto, tako da jo iztrga dominantnim pripovedim in navidezno objektivnim zgodovinopisnim zgodbam, ter jo vrne nazaj ljudem. In to ljudje znajo ceniti, saj je film na Hrvaškem postal prava neodvisna uspešnica. Na domači Reki so razprodali že več kot 60 projekcij. In – ne da bi bilo to kakorkoli pomembno ob vsem, kar pove – je film tudi presenetljivo prepričal hrvaško filmsko srenjo, da ga je poslala v tekmo za tujejezičnega oskarja. Oceno je napisal Žiga Brdnik, bral pa Igor Velše.

Historia Szkocji to opowieść o niezłomnych wojownikach, buntach przeciw imperiom i walce o niezależność, która trwa do dziś! W tym odcinku przeniesiemy się na tereny spowite mgłą, gdzie rodziła się tożsamość Szkotów. Przejdziemy przez starożytne czasy Piktów, czasy panowania Rzymian, narodziny Królestwa Alby, epokę wikingów, burzliwe wojny z Anglią, aż po współczesne dążenia do niepodległości. Część I: Kolebka – w krainie mgieł i wojowników Zaczynamy w czasach pierwszych osadników, którzy zamieszkiwali te tereny już tysiące lat temu. Jak wyglądało ich życie w surowym klimacie? • Rzymianie w Szkocji – Gdy potęga Imperium Rzymskiego rozrastała się, napotkała na swojej drodze obrońców z północy Brytanii. Mimo budowy Wału Hadriana i Antonina, Rzymianie nigdy nie podbili całkowicie szkockich ziem. Czym był ten mur i jak wpłynął na rozwój regionu? • Powstanie Królestwa Alby – Jak doszło do utworzenia pierwszego szkockiego państwa? W jaki sposób Kenneth MacAlpin zjednoczył Piktów i Szkotów, tworząc zalążek przyszłej Szkocji? • Era Wikingów – brutalne najazdy Skandynawów, ich osady i wpływ na kulturę oraz politykę regionu. Część II: Unia – krew, pot i miecz Przez wieki Szkoci walczyli o swoją niepodległość, a legendy takich bohaterów jak William Wallace i Robert Bruce do dziś budzą podziw. • Wojna o niepodległość – jak Wallace i Bruce pokonali Anglików? Jakie taktyki stosowali przeciw liczniejszym wojskom króla Edwarda I? • Dynastia Stuartów i Auld Alliance – szkocko-francuski sojusz, który miał powstrzymać Anglię, ale czy rzeczywiście był skuteczny? • Reformacja w Szkocji – dlaczego kraj, który przez wieki był wierny papieżowi, stał się bastionem protestantyzmu? • Unia Koron i Unia 1707 – czy Szkoci dobrowolnie zgodzili się na połączenie z Anglią, czy też zostali do tego zmuszeni? Jakie konsekwencje miał ten akt? Powstania jakobickie i czystki w Highlands Po Unii w 1707 roku nie wszyscy Szkoci pogodzili się z nowym porządkiem. Zwolennicy dynastii Stuartów podjęli próbę odzyskania tronu dla Jakuba II i jego następców. • Pierwsze Powstanie Jakobickie (1715) – dlaczego się nie powiodło? • Drugie Powstanie Jakobickie (1745–1746) – Bonnie Prince Charlie i bitwa pod Culloden – ostateczna klęska, która zmieniła Szkocję na zawsze. • Czystki w Highlands – jak po powstaniach Anglicy brutalnie rozprawili się z góralami, niszcząc ich kulturę i tradycję. Część III: W kilcie ku referendum – nowoczesna Szkocja Szkoci nigdy nie przestali dążyć do niezależności. XX wiek przyniósł zmiany, które odnowiły dyskusję o suwerenności. • Referendum 2014 – dlaczego Szkoci niemal zdecydowali się na odrębne państwo? • Brexit a Szkocja – czy wyjście z UE oznacza nowy impuls dla niepodległości? Część IV: Mitologia, kultura i popkultura Historia Szkocji to nie tylko bitwy i polityka, ale również bogata tradycja folklorystyczna i kulturalna. • Selkie, Kelpie i Potwór z Loch Ness – czy legendy mają ziarnko prawdy? • Kultura klanowa – czym były klany? • Braveheart – fakty i mity – co w filmie było prawdą, a co hollywoodzką fikcją?

K.L. Huntley, whose career has stretched across from the music industry to prison employee and then to a rural K-12 teacher in Montana, has penned a unique novel about a fascinating historical figure that she came across while researching her Scottish genealogy. Misneach, The Story of Flora MacDonald is a well-researched, fast-paced, and accurate work of historical fiction that highlights the amazing real-life story of an incredibly strong, literate, courageous, and resilient woman who played key roles in both the history of Scotland and the American Revolution. The book details MacDonald's risky actions three centuries ago to aid Prince John Edward Stuart. She became a hero for the Scottish people who believed that Stuart was the rightful heir to the throne. However, when news of her actions reached the British government, she was concerned that she would be arrested. The book also details her life after the incident. Eventually, she and her family moved to the American colonies. During this time, the Revolutionary War is just beginning. She faced extreme difficulties in a new country when her husband decided to enlist in the British Army. All of the characters in this novel were actual people with the exception of one mixed-race woman, who was needed to tie events together. Misneach is the word for courage in Gaelic and certainly describes MacDonald, whose courage was called upon multiple times during her lifetime. She was a major player assisting in the escape of Prince Stuart after the Battle of Culloden and then, after immigrating to the colonies, became embroiled in the American Revolution.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support.

Joining us is Rory Butcher, a PhD candidate from Leeds University, whose research on the fencible regiments sheds new light on Britain's military history.Introduction to Rory Butcher:- Rory shares his academic journey, from his fascination with muskets to his current PhD research at Leeds University.- Discover how a conversation with his master's supervisor led Rory to explore the largely uncharted territory of the fencible regiments.Debunking Napoleonic Myths:- Rory's rage centres on the misconception that the Napoleonic Wars are solely defined by the Peninsula and Waterloo campaigns.- He argues for the broader term "French Wars" to encapsulate the 25-year period of conflict from 1792 to 1815.The French Wars Explained:- An in-depth look at the seven coalitions and the global nature of the French Wars, involving multiple European powers and theatres of conflict.- Rory highlights Britain's role beyond just fighting the French, including engagements in North America, the Caribbean, and India.Britain's Domestic Front:- Explore the internal challenges Britain faced, from political opposition and suspended civil liberties to naval mutinies and the threat of Irish rebellion.- Learn about the social and economic impacts of the war on British society, including the role of the militia and the fear of invasion.The Role of the Fencibles:- Rory introduces the fencible regiments, tracing their origins from the aftermath of Culloden to their significant contribution during the French Wars.- Understand how these regiments, initially raised from Scottish clans, evolved to play a crucial role in Britain's military strategy.Conclusion and Final Thoughts:- Rory urges a re-evaluation of the Napoleonic period, advocating for a more nuanced understanding that goes beyond the simplistic narrative of Britain's victory at Waterloo.- He calls for the period to be seen as part of a broader, complex web of global conflicts and alliances.Follow Rory on Twitter @RMBHistory for updates on his research and insights into the fascinating world of the fencible regiments.You can follow History Rage on Twitter @HistoryRage or Paul individually @PaulBavill You can join our 'Angry Mob' on Patreon as well. £5 per month gets you episodes 3 months early, the invite to choose questions, entry into our prize draws and the coveted History Rage mug.

Pour commencer il faut savoir que le port du kilt remonte aux anciens Highlanders, c'est à dire aux habitants des Highlands, une région montagneuse du nord de l'Écosse. Ces Highlanders portaient des kilts en raison de leur confort. Habillés ainsi Ils pouvaient se déplacer facilement dans les terrains montagneux et marécageux de l'Écosse. Le kilt offrait une liberté de mouvement essentielle dans ce contexte. Sa forme traditionnelle était en fait un long morceau de tissu enroulé autour du corps et porté sur une épaule, qui pouvait aussi servir de couverture la nuit. Mais si le kilt est devenu le symbole de l'Ecosse, c'est en raison d'une visite bien particulière, celle du roi George IV à Édimbourg en 1822. Le contexte politique et culturel de l'époque joue un rôle essentiel. Après notamment la défaite des clans écossais à la bataille de Culloden en 1746, le gouvernement britannique a mis en place des lois sévères contre les symboles de la culture des Highlands, y compris le port du tartan et du kilt. Ces restrictions visaient à affaiblir l'identité écossaise et à réduire le pouvoir des clans. Ce n'est qu'en 1782, presque quarante ans plus tard, que ces lois furent abrogées, permettant ainsi aux Écossais de renouer avec leurs traditions vestimentaires.Dans ce contexte, le roi George IV fut le premier monarque britannique à visiter l'Écosse depuis le 17ème siècle. Là, Sir Walter Scott, auteur et poète écossais, mais aussi grand promoteur de la culture écossaise et fervent admirateur des traditions des Highlands, fut chargé de préparer les célébrations. Et Scott décida justement de mettre en avant une image romantique de l'Écosse, centrée sur l'héritage des Highlands et ses emblèmes distinctifs. Il encouragea les Écossais à porter des kilts en tartan, convaincant même le roi George IV d'en revêtir un. Les festivités furent un grand succès et attirèrent l'attention de l'Europe entière. George IV fut immortalisé vêtu d'un kilt en tartan de Stuart, symbole de l'unité entre les différentes factions de l'Écosse et la monarchie britannique. Ce choix vestimentaire avait pour but d'insuffler une fierté nationale et de ressusciter une identité écossaise, qui avait été réprimée et stigmatisée pendant des décennies. Après l'événement, de nombreuses familles de la noblesse écossaise adoptèrent des motifs de tartan spécifiques, créant une forte association entre chaque clan et un motif distinct. En somme, la visite de George IV a transformé le kilt d'un simple vêtement des Highlands en un symbole national. L'implication de Sir Walter Scott a joué un rôle crucial dans cette transformation. Ce moment a non seulement ancré le kilt dans l'imaginaire collectif écossais, mais il l'a également érigé en emblème de l'identité écossaise à travers le monde. Hébergé par Acast.

In the wake of Culloden, much of Scotland was on its knees. Crippled by defeat and the subsequent backlash of the British government, along with famine and poverty, they were in dire need of new horizons. The nascent British Empire would provide it. The Scottish Highlanders had developed a fearsome reputation during their struggles against the English, and would prove just as indomitable fighting for Britain in India. Yet, in more ways than militarily, India was to become a treasure trove of opportunity, enrichment and conquest for the Scots. From their domination of the East India Trading Company, to some of the men credited with cementing imperial rule in India, and the Highlander Regiments who took on the ferocious Tipu Sultan in the South, Scots involvement in all spheres of the British Empire in India was momentous. It also made them very rich… how controversial, then, is Scotland's Indian involvement? In today's episode, William and Anita are joined by historian Andrew MacKillop to discuss the colourful history of Scots and India.

Few battles in history have been remembered as powerfully, nor been as mythologised, as Culloden on the 16th of April 1746. Under the leadership of Charles Edward Stuart - Bonnie Prince Charlie, ‘the Young Pretender' - the Jacobites fight to the death upon Culloden Moor to place their own king on the British throne. Outgunned, outnumbered, the kilted swordsmen and musketeers took on the forces of the Hanoverian George II of England, in what would be the last battle fought on British soil. What would be their fate? In today's episode, William and Anita are joined again by historian Jacqueline Riding to discuss the Battle of Culloden: one of the most cataclysmic battles in British history.

After the Battle of Culloden, a period of Cold War set in, lasting for the next two decades. The musket and cannon were replaced by espionage, propaganda, and psychological warfare, and the game of golf found itself in the midst of it all. The Hanoverian government, concerned about future Jacobite uprisings, targeted Scotland's first golfing societies due to their close ties to Scottish freemasonry and the Royal Company of Archers. These golfers, including prominent figures like William Saint Clare, James Weems, and John Rattray, were under surveillance. Despite the government's suspicions, the golfers posed little actual threat, but tensions remained high.
Come join the new Wargames To Go (and Boardgames To Go) discord server https://discord.gg/vxEG9bMPdx [If you aren't particularly interested in the Wars of Scotland, you may be interested in the wargame open house/convention event known as GMT's Weekend at the Warehouse. I went last month and spend the first part of the podcast talking about that time & games played. THEN it's on to my specific historical topic.] Ok, now I'm really finished with Scotland. Like everything I explore for my wargame podcast, these deep dives take over my gaming for a while. That's enjoyable, but since I don't notch wargame opportunities and completions frequently, it means these subjects take me a while. Since I'm eager to explore other topics, too, eventually I have to move along. However, just as with Vietnam, Waterloo, or Market-Garden, I will have learned so much that it will be easier to dabble with similar wargames (or even return to some favorites) in the future. For this topic, I used my vacation to Scotland last September to prompt a lot of learning about that country's military history. Though I should say it wasn't limited to when Scotland was a country—-there's a lot of history when it was a kingdom, and also earlier when it was tribal territory. Part of the joy was beginning to understand this history in more of its rich complexity than I understood from watching Braveheart alone. ;-) Since I'd already dabbled in the War for Scottish Independence, with William Wallace, Robert the Bruce, and a couple King Edwards . . . plus the early history of Roman expansion against the Caledonians, the major chapter in his history that still remained were the Jacobite rebellions. There are movies and wargames about this period, but not as many as might be expected. I'd seen the interesting faux documentary Culloden earlier, and this time I watched Rob Roy. There are a few films and other stories about this legendary+historic figure. The more recent (1990s) film with Liam Neeson, Jessica Lange, and Tim Roth does not make for accurate history, but it's a decent film that can get someone like me reading about the real history of this person. As much as we can untangle, anyway. What's next for this podcast? Well, I'm going to take a delicate dive into the challenging topic of anthropological “first contact” in history games. As much as possible, I want to explore what happened when Europeans & the indigenous people of the New World first encountered each other. I don't really mean the Indian Wars of the plains. Instead, I'm after what happened when the first ships arrived and people “discovered” each other. This is an area where history games and wargames have not made much progress, but that's also why the subject is interesting. -Mark
During the Jacobite Rising of 1745, clans that were already at feud chose different sides and continued the conflict. But with the failure of the rising and its disastrous conclusion at the Battle of Culloden, sometimes the fighting didn't stop.

A story from the 19th century told that British soldiers marched off the surrender ground at Yorktown to the tune of "The World Turned Upside Down." Whether true or not is beside the point. The world may indeed have seemed upside down. To help us come to grips with the myriad of ways in which life in the British Atlantic world changed, we talk with historian James Patrick Ambuske, producer and narrator for the "Worlds Turned Upside Down" podcast, a production of R2 Studios at the Rosenzweig Center for History and New Media at George Mason University. Jim Ambuske is also the co-director of the Scottish Court of Sessions Digital Archives, and other projects to inspire historians.

Culloden Moor is perhaps one of the saddest sites in the British Isles, the battlefield that played host to a massacre. It was also the last battle to take place on mainland Britain. The Battle of Culloden took place on 16 April 1746. It marked the end of the Jacobite Rebellion. It's also apparently given rise to ghosts of its own, and contributes to local legends inspired by the battle. Let's go and look and some of the legends in this week's episode of Fabulous Folklore.

In August, 1745, Bonnie Prince Charlie led a rebellion that brought the Jacobite cause closer to seizing the throne than any other. He had landed with only a handful of his most trusted supporters, but a mixture of gold, charisma and old loyalties soon brought a large number of followers to his side as they attempted to overthrow the British crown. The rebellion grew in momentum with early successes on the battlefield and marched south reaching as far as Derby before turning back north. However, the noose around the Bonny Prince Charlie and the Jacobite rebels was tightening, and in April 1746 they were decisively defeated by superior British forces at the Battle of Culloden.Guiding Dan through the 1745 uprising is Professor Murray Pittock from the University of Glasgow. Murray provides a comprehensive overview of what the Jacobites wanted, the events of the revolt and the fate of its leader Bonnie Prince Charlie.Discover the past with exclusive history documentaries and ad-free podcasts presented by world-renowned historians from History Hit.
