Podcasts about Scotland

Legal Team, we're heading to Scotland… by way of The Bachelor and a very disturbing real-life paper trail. This week we break down the restraining order filed by Cassie Randolph against former Bachelor Colton Underwood, whose alleged stalking behavior included harassing texts, anonymous burner numbers, and a tracking device found taped to her car. We walk through the court filings, the receipts, and how it all connects to the carefully managed public image he presents today on The Traitors. This isn't just reality TV drama — it's a sobering look at coercion, control, and how legal systems handle stalking cases. What's on the Docket? How Colton Underwood went from Bachelor lead to restraining order respondent The alleged stalking behavior, including burner texts and messages sent to himself The tracking device discovered taped underneath Cassie's car How California law defines stalking and why these cases are hard to prosecute Why the restraining order was ultimately dismissed and what that legally means Access additional content and our Patreon here: ⁠https://zez.am/thebravodocket⁠ The Bravo Docket podcast, the statements we make whether in our own media or elsewhere, and any content we post are for entertainment purposes only and do not provide legal advice.

An innovative scheme in Scotland is helping dads in prison become better parents. Myra Anubi visits Barlinnie jail in Glasgow to meet the prisoners taking part. First they are taught parenting skills and then their children are brought into the jail for sessions of active physical play. Supporters of the programme say it is not just about benefits for prisoners - it is helping to create strong family bonds which might then reduce rates of reoffending.It is based on a successful scheme in Australia called Healthy Dads, Healthy Kids. This was set up to get people fit and tackle high levels of obesity in the wider population. We talk to the founder who explains how it has improved the lives of hundreds of fathers and their families.People Fixing The World from the BBC is about brilliant solutions to the world's problems.

With the Six Nations around the corner, the lads are fired up as squads drop across the board, bringing big calls, big omissions, and some surprise bolters. We dig into every nation's squad, from France leaving out some absolute superstars, to England's depth options, Ireland's late changes and injury worries, Wales' omissions, a settled Scotland, and Italy's hopes despite a mounting injury list. We're also joined by England's rugby chef Tom Kirby for a brilliant chat on elite nutrition, monster appetites, and what players at every level should actually be eating. Throw in some Prem and URC chat, punch-ups, plenty of other news, live show news in Dublin, rumours, and it's a packed episode as the countdown to the Six Nations really begins.

Videos of incidents like the recent Minneapolis shootings can be ambiguous, but they can also help determine the narrative most people believe. In the Alex Pretti case, the Trump administration's description of what happened conflicted with what people saw from witness recordings. Also: today's stories, including how, despite Beijing's campaign to encourage women to have more children, new data shows China's population decline is accelerating; how populism can awaken a nation to concerns ignored by elites, but also unravel institutions; and how, in novelist Val McDermid's newest book, winter comforts offer a respite from Scotland's short days and long nights. Join the Monitor's Kurt Shillinger for today's news.

In this episode, I step away from a simple Highland–Lowland divide and draw on research from Wilson McLeod's PhD thesis, Divided Gaels: Gaelic Scotland and Gaelic Ireland, 1200–1650 to show just how fragmented and uneven Gaelic Scotland really was. Using McLeod's work, I explore how some Highland regions lay at the cultural core of the Lordship of the Isles, while others sat on its margins or were shaped by entirely different political and social forces—and how parts of the Lowlands retained Gaelic far longer than is usually assumed. The result is a far messier, more regional picture of language, identity, and power than the clean lines we often draw on maps. This episode is an invitation to rethink easy categories and to see Gaelic Scotland as a patchwork of overlapping influences rather than a binary world.

Season 19 Episode 24: It's official, Bangladesh have refused to play in the T20 World Cup, meaning Scotland will come in. Justice for Jersey! Pakistan are threatening not to come, even though they will. Italy just beat Ireland. Australia are going to Pakistan. It's all happening in the lead-up weeks, including England's tour of Sri Lanka - where Harry Brook captaining that side just emphasises how significant the problems are that England's team management have made for themselves. Australia brings memories that last a lifetime.

The picture of a flock of primitive-breed sheep, the last of their kind, living on an island off the northeast coast of Scotland, has a certain romance to it. Plenty of knitters, spinners, fiber artists, and citizens of the modern world might idly dream of living on such an island and tending such a flock. With no background as a farmer and only a few years as a shepherd, Jane Cooper decided to bring that dream to life. Enchanted by the fiber of the Boreray sheep, and with her life transformed by a class on knitting with rare breeds, Jane decided to buy a small parcel of land and start a spinner's flock by adopting a few wethers from another farmer. In a short time, however, she found herself with more land—and more sheep—than she planned for. And so began her adventure as the shepherd of the “lost flock,” a group of sheep whose ancestors had escaped the official registry. Since obtaining her first sheep in 2013, Jane not only developed her own breeding program but established several other breeding flocks in the Orkneys. She has explored the recent and ancient history of her sheep, from the Vikings who used dual-coated wool in their sails to the breed registries established in the 20th century (and traced how her own sheep came to be called “the lost flock.”) This episode is brought to you by: Treenway Silks Treenway Silks is where weavers, spinners, knitters and stitchers find the silk they love.

Charlene, Chris, Lizzie, and Royal Commentator Afua Hagan unpack Harry's emotionally charged week fighting the Daily Mail's publisher in court.After Prince Harry gave evidence against the publisher of the Daily Mail, Charlene White is joined by Royal Editor Chris Ship, Royal Expert Lizzie Robinson, and Royal Commentator Afua Hagan to unpack what we've learnt and what might come next.Chris was in court as Prince Harry became almost overwhelmed with emotion, fighting back tears as he described how the press had made his wife's life "an absolute misery". Harry is one of seven claimants bringing this group action against the Daily Mail's Publisher Associated Newspapers Ltd (ANL), including Elton John, Liz Hurley and Baroness Doreen Lawrence, the mother of the murdered teenager Stephen Lawrence.They all claim ANL had written articles based on information, which was gathered unlawfully, like phone hacking, phone tapping and blagging.Associated Newspapers Limited denies the claims of wrongdoing and says the articles were based on 'legitimate sources' and 'carefully curated contacts'.The team explain why Prince Harry has chosen to fight the case now, why it's different from his previous legal battles with the press, and what happens if he wins.Also this week on Talking Royals: Where is Meghan? The Duchess of Sussex was not in the UK with Harry - indeed, the Prince has always said he would not bring his family back to Britain without his full personal security being reinstated.  Now the pair are off to Sundance Film Festival, where they executive produced a documentary about Girl Scouts selling cookies. Plus, what's going on with Princess Eugenie and her father Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor? Reports suggest Eugenie has cut off all contact with him following a series of allegations relating to his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein - allegations he strongly denies.Meanwhile, the Prince and Princess of Wales were up in Scotland where they tried their hands at curling - and Kate managed to style out a precarious moment where she lost her balance on the ice!And, hot on the heels of a popular online trend: What was the Royal Family doing in 2016? We take a look back at the best photos of the year - from Harry and Meghan's third date in Botswana to the Queen's 90th birthday to Prince George's meeting with President Obama.

Clean energy isn't just good for the planet, it's good for your wallet. Solar and wind are now the cheapest power sources in history. But too many politicians would rather protect billionaires than help working families save on their bills. Real change starts when we stop allowing the ultra - rich to write our energy policy and run our government. Let's choose affordable, renewable power. Clean energy means lower costs, more freedom, and a planet that can actually breathe. Promote Celtic culture through music at http://celticmusicpodcast.com/. WELCOME THE IRISH & CELTIC MUSIC PODCAST * Helping you celebrate Celtic culture through music. I am Marc Gunn. I'm a Celtic musician and also host of Pub Songs & Stories.

This podcast is for fans of all kinds of Celtic music. We are here to build a diverse Celtic community and help the incredible artists who so generously share their music with you. If you hear music you love, please email the artists to let them know you heard them on the Irish & Celtic Music Podcast. These musicians are not part of some corporation. They are small indie groups that rely on people just like you to support their music so they can keep creating it. Please show your generosity.

The initial goal was to fund our 2025 Best of the Irish & Celtic Music Podcast album. Happily that goal was reached within three days of the start of the campaign. Now we have a secondary stretch goal to fund the… IRISH & CELTIC MUSIC PODFEST AND ARTS MARKET This is a one - day music festival and arts market that will take place on Sunday, March 8, 2026 at The Lost Druid Brewery in Avondale Estates, GA, 15 minutes from downtown Atlanta. There are four bands performing at the festival. I am performing one show solo and one show with May Will Bloom, where my daughter takes the lead. Kinfolk will join us as well as I mentioned last week. But the final band performing at the festival is a 3 - piece version of The Muckers, our local Celtic punk band. That will complete our lineup. Follow our event page on Facebook for more details. Or Follow us for Free on our Patreon page. Now my next goal is to raise $3200 so that all of the bands are paid a decent wage and to promote our first - ever Celtic festival. To that end, I added three new rewards for Kickstarter. Each is a chance to sponsor individual bands at the festival. When you do, you'll get one of the first album pins from each of these amazing Celtic bands. That's because we are highlighting album pins at the festival as well, as another means to promote the music of bands. Our album pins are wooden lapel pins themed to a particular album released by a band. The buyer gets a digital download of the album, then they can wear their album! There's just 8 days left on this Kickstarter. So please make a pledge to support Celtic culture through music. THANK YOU PATRONS OF THE PODCAST!

There may not be a more important course in the world (that you havent heard of) than Leith Links - there is an argument that you can't play the game of golf without a major component of it's history. The History of Leith Links is endlessly fascinating - there are golf matches, duels, murders, kings and commoners and today on the show Mike Tucker of the Leith Rules Society joins us to shed a light on one of history's forgotten courses and the home to the rules of golf.

The next stop on the Nations Pod Guide is Edinburgh. GRO teaches Chris and Tom a Max Boyce classic and explains why the trip to the Scottish capital is so special for Wales fans. After initially declaring he doesn't have much to say about the city, Tom tells us about his favourite pubs and praises the commitment of the Scottish rugby fans despite the lack of success in the Six Nations era. The guys also talk Bill McLaren, Flower of Scotland and recall some of their standout moments at Murrayfield down the years. You'll also find out why the commentary position presents plenty of challenges for broadcasters.

A teaser for a new series for Patreon's onlywww.patreon.com/theconspiracypodcastThe boys take on one of the most iconic “true story” films ever made: Braveheart. From blue face paint and kilts to the legendary cry of “Freedom!”, the movie shaped how the world remembers William Wallace and Scotland's fight for independence. But how much of it actually happened?The episode breaks down the real history behind the film, starting with who William Wallace truly was — not a poor farmer, but a minor noble — and what really sparked his rebellion. It revisits the Battle of Stirling Bridge (yes, there was an actual bridge), the myths surrounding jus primae noctis, the completely fictional romance with Princess Isabella, and the misleading portrayal of Robert the Bruce.The boys also explore Wallace's brutal execution, what the movie surprisingly gets right, and why Hollywood altered so much of the story in the first place.Was Braveheart a historical disaster or a powerful legend built on real events? This episode separates cinematic myth from medieval reality and reveals how one man became both a national hero and one of history's most misunderstood figures.

Andy McGrillen's interest in UFOs began as a 10-year-old when he and a small group witnessed a remarkable UFO sighting in Scotland. In 2020, he began “That UFO Podcast” and to date has interviewed over 200 experiencers, whistleblowers and researchers, with direct knowledge of UFOs. His first book, Atlas of Unidentified Flying Objects gives a panoramic view of what is happening in the UFO field by analyzing historical UFO sightings, crash retrieval operations and select ET experiencers. In this interview with Dr. Michael Salla, they discuss US Congressional Hearings, the importance of David Grusch's UFO revelations, prospects of a future disclosure announcement by President Donald Trump, impact of the Age of Disclosure documentary and Dr. Steven Greer's reaction , and the role of the media in preparing the general public for a future official disclosure announcement that reveals humanity is not alone.Andy McGrillen's website is: https://www.thatufopodcast.com/Join Dr. Salla on Patreon for Early Releases, Webinar Perks and More.Visit https://Patreon.com/MichaelSalla/

The Vikings impacted European history -- west and east -- for centuries, from 793, when they attacked Lindisfarne Abbey in England, up until 1066, when they attacked England and lost to Harold Godwinson (though Harold would lose the next battle, at Hastings, in his fight against the Normans or, "French Vikings," as your hosts like to call them).  These dates aren't really true, since the Vikings raided before and after them. They're just nice clean dates to remember. But at any rate, centuries it was, and the Vikings were very scary, and very good at snatch-and-grab attacks, except sometimes they settled down in places like York, or of course, Normandy. And during all this time, they often attacked the island of Iona, targeting the Abbey, since that was where most of the stuff was. On Christmas Eve of 986, however, when they attacked Iona again, slaughtering the abbot and 15 monks, it wasn't a raid for raiding's sake. Times had shifted, and the Vikings were becoming church patrons. Iona was attacked in 986 as part of a struggle between secular powers and church powers. There was slaughter and raiding, to be sure, but those were the methods, not the point. In somewhat of a reversal of our usual roles, Michelle explains this all to you, and Anne gets really excited about the possibility of taking a retreat on Iona, with meditative tours and, of course, a tea room.

Alan Hovhaness: Unveiling One of the Great Composers of the 20th Century "He has been composing music since he was four years old and at the age of eight found it necessary to defend his original style against the criticisms of his piano teacher. Since then after study in the New England Conservatory; the winning of two Guggenheim grants; and recognition through a National Institute of Arts and Letters award, the critics and the public are mostly on his side. Downes of the New York Times pronounced him "one of the most individual and exotically expressive American composers of the rising generation." In his own words he was led to quote "search for an idiom more worthy of the wonderful tradition I had discovered." For boldness and delicacy of imagination, for originality and individuality without eccentricity, for a great number of compositions each fresh and distinctive, for fusing old melody with modern technique and spirit, in short, for making music to lift the hearts of men as only music can, Bates College wishes to confer upon Alan Hovhaness, the honorary degree of Doctor of Music." Thus reads the declaration read by Charles F. Phillips, the president of Bates College on June 7, 1959. Today it is my honor to present William Holst, Alan Hovhaness' stepson, who served as co-author and curator of the book, Alan Hovhaness: Unveiling One of the Great Composers of the 20th Century. Symphony No. 63, "Loon Lake", Op. 411 was performed by the Royal Scottish National Orchestra, directed by Stewart Robertson, and recorded in 2007 at Henry Wood Hall, in Glasgow, Scotland.

With Harry's court drama dominating the headlines, William and Kate go on the road in Scotland, trying to look like the future while the past keeps barging in. Kate makes a low-key cultural play with an understated Royal Opera House visit and a simple message: “Thank you to The Royal Ballet for an amazing evening of creative inspiration at Woolf Works this weekend! C.” The Waleses then hit the curling rink, where Kate beats William again, before heading to a community pub where William declares, “I want to help pubs. This is the best place to come and get to know each other,” adding, “I grew up in pubs. I absolutely love pubs,” and calling them “the heart of the community.” They hear about rising costs crushing landlords, Kate receives a crochet bunny for Charlotte, and she jokes, “You need to finish that,” when William leaves his cider behind. The visit is interrupted by a shouted question about Andrew and Epstein, Kensington Palace confirms William's Saudi Arabia trip in February, and reports swirl that William is furious over talk of a Harry-led Diana project involving Netflix.Meanwhile Charles stays busy, sips whisky in Edinburgh, jokes, “The terrible thing about it is, the photograph is never the most fetching,” and the Telegraph warns the King's possible US trip is now tangled up in the Trump-Greenland falloutPalace Intrigue is your daily royal family podcast, diving deep into the modern-day drama, power struggles, and scandals shaping the future of the monarchy.Hear our new show "Crown and Controversy: Prince Andrew" here.Check out "Palace Intrigue Presents: King WIlliam" here.

James I wasn't weak, stupid, or slobbering — history got lazyJames I has gone down in history as a disappointment, a fool, a drunken slob — a king wedged awkwardly between Elizabeth I and Charles I and remembered largely for what others did to him. But what if almost everything you think you know about James I is wrong?Historian and author Gareth Russell returns for a record-breaking fifth appearance to dismantle the enduring caricature of James I of England and VI of Scotland. From supposed physical deformities and “slobbering” table manners to accusations of cowardice, weakness, and religious extremism, Gareth takes aim at centuries of lazy myth-making and historical snobbery.Drawing directly on contemporary sources, Gareth explains why the image of James as a grotesque failure tells us far more about xenophobia, propaganda, and bad history than it does about the man himself.This episode explores:Why James I became the “unpopular in-between king” of British historyHow English and Scottish prejudice shaped his posthumous reputationThe truth behind claims of physical deformity and drunken incompetenceJames's surprisingly effective rule in Scotland — and why people wept when he leftHis deep commitment to peace and how he kept Britain out of the Thirty Years' WarThe complex reality of his religious views, Catholic toleration, and hatred of Puritan extremismHis dangerous but evolving obsession with witchcraft and the long shadow of DaemonologieHow and why James authorised the King James Bible — and how involved he really wasWhy his failure to unite England and Scotland politically haunted his reignThis is not an exercise in rehabilitation or hero-worship. As Gareth makes clear, James I was deeply flawed — but he was also intelligent, scholarly, peace-driven, and far more effective than history likes to admit.If you've ever repeated the myths, laughed at the caricature, or dismissed James I outright — this episode is your invitation to rage at bad history and demand better.Live Appearance Announcement

THE PERSONAL RULE OF CHARLES I AND THE SLIDE TOWARD REBELLION Colleague Jonathan Healey. Tensions rise as lawyer Edward Coke champions the Petition of Right against Charles I's arbitrary imprisonment and taxation. After the Duke of Buckingham is assassinated by a disillusioned soldier, Charles dissolves Parliament in 1629, beginning a decade of "personal rule." He levies controversial taxes like "ship money," which judges uphold, fearing the public. Religious rigidness led by Archbishop Laud and the ruthless administration of the Earl of Strafford alienate the populace. Charles's attempt to impose a new prayer book on Scotland triggers a rebellion, causing his control over England to collapse. NUMBER 31680 CHARLES II

Donna takes listeners back to 17th-century Paisley, Scotland, unraveling the chilling witch trials surrounding young Christian Shaw and the hysteria that gripped an entire town. What began as a child's accusation spiraled into executions, fear, and a dark chapter of Scottish history that still lingers today. Kerri covers the disturbing crimes of William Suff, known as The Riverside Prostitute Killer, whose reign of violence exposed terrifying gaps in how vulnerable victims were overlooked. The case examines his methods, the investigation that finally stopped him, and the devastating impact left in his wake.
