I detta avsnitt dyker vi ner i ett av historiens mest bisarra och häpnadsväckande bedrägerier: berättelsen om Gregor MacGregor – mannen som sålde ett land som inte ens fanns! På tidigt 1800-tal lyckades MacGregor, med sin charm och ett par kreativa kartor, övertyga hundratals människor att lämna sina hem i Storbritannien för att skapa ett nytt liv i det tropiska paradiset Poyais. Problemet? Poyais existerade bara i hans egen fantasi. Med löften om rikedomar och obegränsade möjligheter lurade han sina offer rakt in i en dödlig fälla. Hur gick det till? Och hur lyckades han komma undan med ett av historiens största koloniala bluffar? Lyssna när vi utforskar MacGregors falska kungarike och konsekvenserna för de som satte sin tro – och sina liv – i hans händer. Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast.

What a great experience it was to learn these two well-known clans, the Campbells and MacGregors, and their turbulent relationship from one of the most knowledgeable people on the subject! I hope you enjoy this conversation I had with him. This is only the first half of our discussion. Stay tuned for part 2 as well as YouTube content complete with visual aids coming soon.

In this episode, Ethan gets more specific with how the study of DNA helps us understand the history of specific clans, their origins (both in support and in denial of some legends), and their relationships to each other. Among the clans we discussed were Clan Sorley (MacDonalds, MacRorys, and MacDougals), Sìol Ailpein (Grants, MacGregors, MacKinnons, MacAulays, Madfies, Macnabs, MacQuarries), MacNeils, Robertsons, Dunbars, Bruces, Stewarts, MacBeans, MacPhersons, Buchanans, and MacLarens.

This week on The Sassenach Files podcast, I'm chatting about episode 107 of Men in Kilts: “Clans and Tartans”. Join me as I discuss some of the most infamous feuds during Scotland's Clan Wars from 1300-1600: the MacDonalds versus the McLeods, and the MacGregors versus the McLarens. I also break down the making of tartan, waulking wool, and where those brilliant colored plaids we've come to know and love first originated.
Following the last episode, here are my interviews with Helen at the Young Clan tent and Steven Argyle and Lois Ann Garlitz at the MacGregor tent from the Payson Scottish Festival. I've spent most of my time studying the Scottish clans in their original context so it was interesting to learn about a more modern incarnation from those deeply involved in it. I hope all you Youngs and MacGregors (or whatever you changed your name to after Glen Fruin) enjoy this episode. Next Stop: Scots on the Rocks in Moab!

The MacGregors have been professional writers of both non-fiction and fiction since 1984. They've written extensively on the pursuit of inner paths. Their nonfiction books on synchronicity, dreams, the tarot, yoga, astrology, divination, and animal symbolism reflect such inner journeys. Their most recent nonfiction books are Aliens in the Backyard: UFOs, Abductions, & Synchronicity and The Synchronicity Highway: Exploring Coincidence, the Paranormal, & Alien Contact. In January 2017, their newest book – Sensing the Future, How to Tap Into Your Intuition and Read Signs From the Universe to Predict What's to Come - will be published. Between 2003 and 2013, the MacGregors wrote the Sydney Omarr astrology books, published by New American Library. Trish's most recent non-fiction book, which will be published in September, is The Biggest Book of Horoscopes Ever. It offers monthly predictions for all 12 signs from 2017-2019. Trish, as T.J. MacGregor, is the author of 37 novels and in 2003, won the coveted Edgar Allan Poe award for her novel Out of Sight. Her most recent novel is Apparition, the third book in the Hungry Ghosts trilogy. Rob is the author of 19 novels, including the New York Times bestseller Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade and six other Indiana Jones novels. He also won the Edgar for Prophecy Rock, a YA mystery, and its sequel, Hawk Moon, was an Edgar finalist.
Stammesverbände wie die MacGregors beherrschen die Highlands im schottischen Norden.

Heute verraten wir euch, wie es zwei Männern gelang, Kunstwerke im Wert von gut 500 Millionen US-Dollar aus dem Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum zu stibitzen, und wie der Betrüger Gregor MacGregor Anfang des neunzehnten Jahrhunderts die High Society Europas an der Nase herumführte. Futuristische Technologien, katastrophale Sicherheitslücken und erfundene Prinzen – in Folge 4 von Verbrechen für Weicheier kommt mal wieder nichts zu kurz. Außer Mord natürlich! Viel Spaß!
Our MacGregor Madness online event is almost here! In this bonus episode, we are joined by our first guest to discuss the rules of MacGregor Madness and make predictions on which book will be voted as the best of all the Macgregors!
This is the last episode (but certainly not the least) of our MacGregor series! The Winning Hand (1998) and The Perfect Neighbor (1999) have the ingredients you love from a Nora Roberts romance - broody heroes, charming heroines, passion, discord, and, of course, love.
Steam and sizzle are just a couple of the words we use to describe the three novellas in Nora Roberts' MacGregor Grooms (1998). Our discussion of the MacGregors is winding down, but the love stories are really heating up in this episode of Romancing the Shelf.
Nora Roberts has only written three historical romances, and we are discussing two in this episode. Listen in as we dive into 18th century Scotland, Revolutionary New England, and of course the love story of the MacGregor family patriarch Daniel MacGregor with Rebellion (1988), In From the Cold (1990), and For Now, Forever (1987).
We continue our discussion of Nora Robert’s MacGregor family by reading and discussing All the Possibilities (1985) and One Man’s Art (1985), the stories of Alan MacGregor and Grant Campbell. We also talk about Nora's newest book, Hideaway, out on May 26th! For more about Hideaway check out the link to the official Nora Roberts blog post: https://fallintothestory.com/hideaway/
Nora Roberts wrote more about the MacGregor family than she has any other with a total of 8 books and 7 novellas, and of course we will discuss them all! We will be introducing the family the same as Nora did, with the stories of Serena and Caine MacGregor, in the books Playing the Odds (1985) and Tempting Fate (1985).

Unfortunately for the course's owners, Thomas (Fred Willard) and Michelle MacGregor (Pam Matteson), business is way under par, and they'll need some kind of miracle to make their next loan payment. Daughter Ella (Whitney Anderson) finds five mini-miracles named Elvis, Paula, Jagger, Madonna, and Hammer, and the MacGregors get the inspiration for the all-new Dino-Putt! But just as the Dino-Putt starts doing some brontosaurus-sized business, Thomas' evil brother Hal (Bruce Weitz) hatches a scheme to shut it down and take over his brother's property. Of course, Ella and her pint-sized pals have some dinomite plans fo their own! Trailers Leaping Leprechauns Andre Lassie Dragon World Magic Island Josh Kirby Time Warrior
ABOUT THE AUTHOR Before Kay Kendall began to write books, she was an award-winning international public relations executive, working in the US, Canada, the Soviet Union, and Europe. Ask her about working in Moscow during the Cold War—and turning down a job with the CIA in order to attend grad school at Harvard. Because of her degrees in Russian history, Kay often brings Cold War elements into her tales. She takes great pains in her books to get historical settings and details right—no anachronisms allowed. Kay is president of the Southwest Chapter of the Mystery Writers of America and is a member of the national board of MWA. She and her Canadian husband live in Houston, Texas, and have rescued abandoned pet rabbits for 20 years. They have a tolerant spaniel who co-habits with the three bunnies that currently reside with them. Over the years they have rescued 14 rabbits. ABOUT THE BOOK "AFTER YOU'VE GONE" Twenty-three-year-old Walter MacGregor craves adventure, her desires whetted by Sherlock Holmes tales. Her prayers are answered when her father's rum-running brother Rory lands on the MacGregors' doorstep, fleeing from enraged bootleggers. In quiet Gunmetal, Texas, during Prohibition, Rory's tales of adventure charm Wallie, but appall her father, a respected judge. When a freak accident horrifies the small town, Wallie believes she sees a crime scene that shows evidence of foul play. In short, it's murder. Annoyed that no one agrees with her—including the sheriff and her dad—she sets out to prove her theory. Soon she is knee-deep in flappers and floozies, Chicago thugs sent south by Al Capone, and a crime lord in the sinful port city of Galveston. Her prim aunt wants her to pay more attention to her eligible suitors. Can Wallie stay alive long enough to figure out which one is her true love?

The MacGregors have been professional writers for 25 years. They have mined numerous synchronicities and have fruitfully used the knowledge derived from them. One synchronicity after another led to their many non-fiction books on dreams, psychic development, astrology, yoga, the tarot, divination, and animal symbolism. They are also novelists. Rob wrote Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade and six other original Indiana Jones novels, which have sold millions of copies. He won the coveted Edgar Award for Prophecy Rock, a YA mystery, and its sequel, Hawk Moon, was an Edgar finalist. Trish, writing as T.J. MacGregor, won the Edgar in 2003 for best original paperback, for Out of Sight. Her 33 novels books have been translated into 14 languages. We will be talking about their latest non-fiction book, Aliens in the Backyard: UFO Encounters, Abduction & Synchronicity. In it they focus on 4 abduction encounters, and the synchronicities the witnesses have begun to experience. For more on the MacGregors and their books, visit their website at: www.synchrosecrets.com
