Henry III of England and Alexander II of Scotland met in York to settle the whole "where does England end, and where does Scotland begin?" question on 25th September, 1237. The consequent ‘Treaty of York' (mostly) settled the map of the borders right up to the present day. Alexander agreed to give up claims on northern English counties like Northumberland, Cumberland, and Westmoreland in return for a small chunk of land and the right to hand over one falcon a year as a symbolic payment. Yes, a falcon. Medieval politics loved a bit of flair. In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly consider how future English kings could spin Scotland's resultant ‘fealty' as an admission that England was the natural powerhouse; discover the lawlessness of the borderlands for the centuries afterwards; and reveal just how many times Berwick-upon-Tweed has caused a cartographical headache… Further Reading: • ‘A History of Scotland, Series 1, Hammers of the Scots, The Treaty of York, 1237' (BBC, 2013): https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p0198xmq • ‘Magna Carta, Scotland and Scots Law' (University of Edinburgh, 2025): https://www.pure.ed.ac.uk/ws/portalfiles/portal/31216033/Magna_Carta_Scotland_and_Scots_Law_LQR_version.pdf • ‘The world's oldest border?'

When Brian mentions the objectionable idea of Amber's homecoming party for George, Alice wonders if that's why he's been flipping out recently. But Alice is more worried about Brian taking on too much at Home Farm and wants him to advertise for a new manager. Meanwhile, Ruairi has gone to sound out Stella about taking her old job back, so long as Brian agrees to retire. Stella reckons that'll never happen though, so it's a no from her.Having been accosted by several people about the poor job Grey Gables made of the Flower and Produce Show, Oliver tells Dane they need to get the village back on side. Dane thinks that time will heal the breach, but Oliver feels poor communication between different departments was the root cause. Which is why he's considering Lily's idea of a job swap - only they both know it would never work. But having staff shadow one another could be a goer, Dane reckons, especially if they introduce an element of fun. He'll come up with a plan, but leaving their jobs out of it as they both know all the other jobs already. Later, Ruairi shows Brian and Alice the amazing castle in Scotland he's found as a potential family holiday destination. They both think it looks perfect, but Brian's mood darkens when Ruairi mentions Stella and retirement. Ruairi then admits his fear of losing Brian, like he's already lost Siobhan and Jenny. So, he's decided to come back for good to both Ambridge and Home Farm.
In this special edition episode, we release a recording of the War Rooms instead of our usual What the Prophets Say episode. Today, we discuss a prophetic response to rising political violence and hate-filled rhetoric across the nations.Emma Stark is joined by David Stark and Karyn Stuart for a hope-filled message, calling on believers to turn to the ways of the Kingdom and reject the pull into divisive Christian nationalism.We discuss:- Why the concept of "sheep and goat nations" in Matthew 25 has been completely misinterpreted and is leading the church to partner with nationalism.- The tragic shooting of Charlie Kirk: what it reveals about conflict, hatred and division and how Jesus calls us to respond.- Emma shares about her childhood experience of growing up amidst assassinations, violence, and civil war and how communities turned away from retaliation and retribution.- Prophecy - the turning point years are upon us as we approach 2026, and the Church must prepare accordingly.We are called to be peacemakers. Our goal is to anchor you back to Scripture and away from the culture wars, to encounter Jesus Christ, and to walk in radical love, even in turbulent times and what seems like a divided world.Are you ready to be part of a challenging conversation and partner in an opportunity to think deeply, prayerfully and wisely? It's a time of harvest - we need to be on the streets spreading the good news of His Kingdom , and for no other cause.Recorded on 17 September, 2025 at the Global Prophetic Alliance HQ, Glasgow, Scotland

This is the second episode in a mini series on the history of the Clan Line, one of Britain's most distinctive and influential shipping companies. In this episode Dr Sam Willis travels the length and breadth of the UK to speak with sailors who served on Clan Line ships, to hear and preserve their memories of this most crucial time in global maritime history. Founded in Glasgow in 1877 by Charles Cayzer, the line quickly grew into a vast fleet that connected Scotland with Africa, India, and beyond. What made it particularly interesting was its combination of commercial power and cultural identity: every ship bore a “Clan” name, giving the company a strong Scottish character that set it apart in the crowded world of British shipping.The Clan Line was important because it played a crucial role in Britain's imperial trade. Its ships carried goods such as jute, tea, and cotton, linking colonial economies to British markets. During both World Wars, the company's vessels were vital to the Allied cause, transporting troops, supplies, and munitions—often at great risk from enemy submarines. Many were lost, but the service of its crews contributed directly to victory.Beyond trade and war, the line symbolised the globalisation of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. It represented Scotland's industrial and maritime strength, while also reflecting the dangers and opportunities of long-distance shipping. Today, the Clan Line stands as a reminder of how shipping shaped commerce, conflict, and community. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Welcome to the Superhumanize Podcast, where ancient wisdom meets cutting-edge science, and we remember that magic is not fantasy, it's our forgotten birthright. I'm your host, Ariane Sommer.Throughout my global journey, from my childhood in Sierra Leone to the boardrooms of wellness enterprises, I've witnessed the profound cost of our disconnection from our own innate wisdom. We've traded our intuitive knowing for external validation, our natural rhythms for artificial timelines, our deep feminine wisdom for surface-level productivity.But what if I told you there's a way back? A way to speak the language of the universe itself and to reclaim the word 'witch' for what it truly means: wise.My guest today is Mia Magik. You might know her as the spiritual fairy godmother whose Sacred Rage Ritual went viral on TikTok, giving millions of women permission to feel what they've been told to suppress for centuries.Mia is also the bestselling author of "IntuWitchin: Learn to Speak the Language of the Universe and Reclaim Your Inner Magik," and I've had the privilege of reading her upcoming book "Witchual," which transforms ordinary moments into profound spiritual practice through what she calls attention plus intention.She's the founder of Witch School, has led transformational retreats in castles throughout Scotland and France, and has coached everyone from tech leaders to professional athletes to remember their supernatural abilities.Here's what moves me most about Mia's work: she's reclaiming the truth that our disconnection from nature is the root of our modern suffering, and that remembering our magical nature isn't just personal healing, it's planetary medicine.So join me as we explore what it means to live a fearlessly authentic life, to embrace both the light and dark feminine within us, and to discover that the magic you seek is not somewhere out there, it's already within you, waiting to be remembered.Episode Highlights:Magic is not fantasy but a forgotten birthright we can reclaim.Mia's viral Sacred Rage Ritual gave millions of women permission to express emotions long suppressed.The deeper meaning of the word “witch” as wise, and how reclaiming it empowers authenticity.How attention plus intention can transform ordinary moments into profound spiritual practice.Reconnecting with nature as the antidote to modern disconnection and suffering.Living a fearlessly authentic life by embracing both the light and dark feminine within us.Remembering that the magic we seek is not external, but already alive within.Resources mentioned:Mia Magik — Learn to Speak the Language of the Universe and Reclaim Your Inner Magic (book) — https://miamagik.comWitchel (upcoming book by Mia Magik) — https://miamagik.com/booksWitch School — https://miamagik.com/witch-school

RUNDOWN We've got full-on playoff fever! Mitch transforms into “Mr. Playoffs,” breaking down worst-case scenarios, magic numbers, and the Mariners' path to clinching the AL West, the No. 2 seed, and even the slim shot at the top seed. From playoff math to the weekend's biggest headlines on the field — the Seahawks crush the Saints 44–13 behind special teams fireworks and a near-perfect day from Sam Darnold. Mitch is joined by Brady Farkas and Joe Doyle to break down one of the most cathartic series in Mariners history — a sweep of the Astros in Houston. The trio cover dominant starting pitching, Victor Robles' season-saving catch, and Brian Wu's ace-level performance despite injury concerns. Mitch, Jacson Bevens and Brady Henderson break down Seattle's 44–13 demolition of the Saints. The discussion includes Sam Darnold's near-perfect day, a record 95-yard punt return by Tory Horton, and another statement from Mike Macdonald's defense despite missing key starters. Mitch and Rick Neuheisel dive into a loaded week of college football, from Nebraska's collapse to Washington's upcoming showdown with No. 1 Ohio State. Rick shares why Husky QB Julian Sayin is already on his Heisman radar, reflects on his emotional return to Husky practice, and explains where UW must hold up against the Buckeyes. They also preview Oregon–Penn State, Alabama–Georgia, and talk Clemson's stunning stumble, before Rick makes his Week 5 pick.

Submission guidelines can be found at http://www.TallTaleTV.com ---- About Tall Tale TV ---- Hi there! My name is Chris Herron and I'm an audiobook narrator. In 2015, I suffered from poor Type 1 diabetes control which lead me to become legally blind for almost a year. The doctors didn't give me much hope, predicting an 80% chance that I would never see again. But I refused to give up and changed my lifestyle drastically. Through sheer willpower (and an amazing eye surgeon) I beat the odds and regained my vision. During that difficult time, I couldn't read or write, which was devastating as they had always been a source of comfort for me since childhood. However, my wife took me to the local library where she read out the titles of audiobooks to me. I selected some of my favorite books, such as the Disc World series, Name of the Wind, Harry Potter, and more, and the audiobooks brought these stories to life in a way I had never experienced before. They helped me through the darkest period of my life and I fell in love with audiobooks. Once I regained my vision, I decided to pursue a career as an audiobook narrator instead of a writer. That's why I created Tall Tale TV, to support aspiring authors in the writing communities that I had grown to love before my ordeal.

In this edition of the Summer History Reading Book Club, Charlie Higson is on a witch hunt.As a woman, if you lived in Scotland in the 1500s, there was a very good chance that you, or someone you knew, would be tried as a witch. Witch hunts ripped through the country for over 150 years, with at least 4,000 accused, and many women's fates sealed by a grizzly execution of strangulation, followed by burning.In their book How to Kill A Witch: A Guide For The Patriarchy writers and podcasters Claire Mitchell, KC, and Zoe Venditozzi, have delved deeply into just why the trials exploded in Scotland to such a degree and with wit, and a sense of outrage, they attempt to inhabit the minds of the, often male, persecutors, revealing the inner workings of exactly why the Patriarchy went to such extraordinary lengths to silence women.

On this episode of Scran we are looking to the Middle East and its oldest microbrewery, Taybeh. Located in the West Bank, water only runs once a week and attacks are a constant threat. However, the only female brewmaster in the Middle East, Madees Khoury who runs Taybeh, says they are defying the odds and continuing to operate. Now Taybeh have joined forces with Glasgow-founded B-Corp, Brewgooder, to produce a new lager, Sun & Stone, as export restrictions make it virtually impossible to ship abroad. The beer is now on sale in 1600 Co-op stores nationwide. Madees joins Rosalind to discuss the challenges her family brewery has been faced with in recent times as well as the partnership with Brewgooder. She also speaks to James Hughes, co-founder of Brewgooder who tells her more about this company who are trying to do some good in the world, and how the partnership came about.

Prince William lightened the mood at Trump's Windsor arrival with the quip, “This is my dad,” before a lavish state banquet filled with s'more-inspired cocktails, tiaras, and a 52-yard table. Trump sat between Charles and Kate, praising her beauty multiple times in remarks that left royal watchers cringing, while body language experts noted he looked oddly subservient beside the Princess of Wales. Observers spotted makeup covering bruises on his hand, prompting questions after the Royal Family posted an unedited photo. Princess Anne was absent from the Trump pageantry—naturally, she was busy working in Scotland. And one columnist summed it up: Trump desperately wants to be British, but only Melania might actually pass the test.

The family's work revolutionised daffodil breeding in the 19th and early 20th century and inspired the Backhouse Heritage Daffodil Collection. Continuing to preserve and celebrate daffodils at the estate, including a registered collection of spring flowering Narcissus with Plant Heritage, direct descendent of the Backhouse family, Caroline Thomson brings to light the history of the Backhouse daffodils.

Unmask the secrets of a $50M costume empire. From million-dollar days to seasonal surges, discover what Halloween sellers can teach every Amazon entrepreneur. Fraser Smeaton, the mastermind behind a $50 million costume empire, joins us to unveil the fascinating world of seasonal business success. With Halloween just around the corner, Fraser spills the beans on capturing 15% of annual revenue in just four days leading up to the spooky celebration. We explore the cultural evolution of Halloween, from its roots with Scottish and Irish immigrants to its booming presence across the U.S., Canada, the UK, and Europe. Fraser also shares how confectionery companies have sweetened Halloween's appeal in the UK over the past 15 years, and offers a nostalgic look at traditional celebrations like guising in Scotland. The journey from a bedroom startup to a global costume phenomenon is nothing short of inspiring. Fraser recounts how writing the website URL on Morphsuits turned customers into living billboards, and how harnessing early Facebook advertising created waves in the e-commerce ocean. As the business scaled rapidly, they navigated the storm of market saturation and competition, pivoting towards direct-to-consumer sales on Amazon. Fraser emphasizes the significance of e-commerce tools like Helium 10 and the wisdom gained from networking events, which transformed their operation from $15 million to a $50 million powerhouse. Talking about the operational side, we uncover the complexities of managing a seasonal costume business. From intricate retail partnerships with giants like Spirit Halloween and Target to the art of balancing high-end and budget-friendly offerings, Fraser reveals the strategic intricacies of thousands of SKUs. He sheds light on the international demand for costumes, highlighting the year-round efforts involved in product design and inventory management. As tariffs fluctuate and international expansion beckons, Fraser's insights provide a roadmap for navigating economic challenges while maintaining a festive spirit in the vibrant world of costume sales.

Today we bring you a bonus episode on Stonehenge, digging deeper into the mysteries of the world's best-known ancient stone circle.Tony speaks to leading archeologist Mike Parker Pearson and top geologist Jane Evans about Stonehenge's altar stone, once thought to come from Wales, which is now believed, through zircon analysis, to have originated in northeast Scotland, linking it to wider Neolithic traditions such as Orkney's architecture and pottery. They also discuss how dating methods have transformed our understanding of Stonehenge and how it uniquely brings together stones from extraordinary distances, perhaps as an attempt to unify Britain's peoples.Hosted by Sir Tony Robinson | Instagram @sirtonyrobinsonWithMike Parker PearsonProfessor of British Later Prehistory, University College London | @uclJane EvansHonorary Professor in archaeology at the Universities of Nottingham and Leicester and Honorary Research Associate at the British Geological Survey | @britgeosurveyProducer: Melissa FitzGerald | X @melissafitzgFollow us:Instagram @cunningcastpod | X @cunningcastpod | YouTube @cunningcastIf you enjoyed this episode please do share it and leave us a review.Thank you, Love Tony x Hosted on Acast.

The US President Donald Trump, joined by the Tennessee Republican Governor Bill Lee, has established a task force to take on crime in the city of Memphis. The Democratic-led city is the latest to face a Trump administration crackdown on crime, following Washington DC. Trump has vowed to 'fix' the city after shelving plans for a similar operation in Chicago, reportedly due to opposition from local and state officials. Memphis' mayor, Paul Young, also has voiced opposition to the plan, arguing that crime already is falling without federal intervention. The president said on Monday, however, that Memphis is 'overrun' with carjackings, robberies and shootings, as well as other crimes. Also: since the Taliban's takeover of Afghanistan four years ago, there's been a huge surge in childhood malnutrition - we'll bring you a special report from inside the country, and there's been foul-play at the world stone skimming championship in Scotland - allegations of cheating have 'rocked' the tournament.

In 1695, a small rural, farming community of southwest Scotland was shaken by strange events at the farmhouse of Ringcroft of Stocking. What began with the shuffling around of livestock, soon escalated into unexplained noises, stones thrown through the air and voices that no one could trace. Neighbors and ministers all flocked to witness the disturbances, but none could find a cause and no amount of prayers could bring peace to the household, who lived under siege for almost an entire month, before, as suddenly as it started, the disturbances stopped, leaving nothing but unanswered questions and a pile of smouldering ashes.SOURCES Telfair, Alexander (1695) A true relation of an apparition, expressions, and actings of a spirit which infested the house of Andrew Mackie, in Ringcroft of Stocking… .
