On this day in Tudor-Stuart history, 19th June 1566, King James VI of Scotland and I of England was born at Edinburgh Castle—an infant who would one day unite two crowns and leave a lasting legacy on British history. The only son of Mary, Queen of Scots, and Lord Darnley, James became King of Scotland at just 13 months old following his father's murder and his mother's forced abdication. Raised as a Protestant in a volatile Scotland, James matured into a politically astute and scholarly monarch. In 1603, he succeeded Queen Elizabeth I of England, uniting the thrones and becoming the first monarch to rule both Scotland and England. His reign was marked by events both dramatic and defining: the Gunpowder Plot, the publication of the King James Bible, witch hunts, and his vision for a united Britain. James was a complex figure — a believer in the divine right of kings, a published author on monarchy and morality, a man whose close male relationships stirred controversy, and a ruler who sought peace over war. In this podcast, we explore the life, reign, and legacy of one of the most fascinating monarchs in British history.

In this explosive episode of History Rage, Paul is joined by the esteemed historian Tracy Borman to dive headfirst into the tumultuous life of Mary, Queen of Scots. This week, we unravel the myths surrounding Mary, challenging the romanticised narrative of her as a tragic heroine and instead revealing her as a monarch whose decisions led to her own downfall.The Myth of the Tragic Heroine: Tracy passionately critiques the portrayal of Mary as a victim of circumstance, arguing that her reckless choices and misguided romantic entanglements were the true architects of her fate. From her disastrous marriages to her ill-fated plots against Elizabeth I, Mary's naivety and arrogance shine through.Mary's Fatal Decisions:Marriages to Misfortune: Tracy dissects Mary's ill-conceived unions, particularly with Henry Lord Darnley and James Hepburn, Lord Bothwell, showcasing how these choices alienated her from her subjects and sealed her fate.Political Naivety: The discussion highlights Mary's lack of political acumen and her failure to grasp the brutal realities of Scottish politics, which ultimately led to her downfall.Conspiracies and Intrigue:Willing Conspirator or Manipulated Pawn? We explore the various plots Mary became involved in, examining whether she was a willing conspirator, a manipulated pawn, or a victim of Walsingham's cunning.The Gallows Letter: Tracy details the infamous Babington Conspiracy and how Walsingham's espionage led to Mary's ultimate demise, illustrating the fine line between conspiracy and entrapment.Guest Information:Follow Tracy Borman on Twitter: @tracyborman.Buy the latest book: https://uk.bookshop.org/a/10120/9781399705110 Join the conversation and share your thoughts on Mary, Queen of Scots, and the Tudor era on Twitter @HistoryRage or with Paul Bavill @PaulBavill.

We continue our #MightyMargarets series!Today we present to you our chat with Linda Porter about her book The Thistle and The Rose published by Head of Zeus, which tells the story of Margaret Tudor, English Princess, sister of Henry VIII. Margaret went on to marry the Scottish king James IV, and thus became the grandmother to the future Mary Queen of Scots and great-grandmother to James VI & I.

In today's episode an extraordinary political trial that culminated in the execution of one queen at the behest of another: Mary Queen of Scots, convicted of treason in 1586 and beheaded in 1587. But who really wanted her dead, Queen Elizabeth or Elizabeth's powerful political servants? Why did Mary demand to be tried before parliament rather than a court of noblemen? How did she attempt to defend herself in the face of apparently overwhelming incriminating evidence against her? And who was the only person who voted for her acquittal?

Why did Scots in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries know so little about their past and even less about those who controlled their history? Is the historical narrative the only legitimate medium through which the past can be made known? Are novelists and historians as far apart as convention has it? In an age when history grounds any claims to national status, these are important questions and they have implications for how Scottish history has evolved, and how Scottish identity has been understood up to the present day. Scottish history is not simply the distillation of Scotland's past: authors shape what we know and how we judge our forebears. The Caledoniad: The Making of Scottish History (John Donald, 2024) by Dr. Catriona MacDonald investigates who decided which Scottish voices of the past would be heard in history's pages and which would ultimately be silenced. It sketches a picture of a narrow and privileged cultural elite that responded belatedly to a more democratic age and only slowly embraced women writers and the interests of ‘average' Scots. Integrating historical fiction and popular histories in its appreciation of the Scottish historical imaginary, it most importantly tells the story of why, despite the interests of politicians and others, a truly British history has never emerged. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

Why did Scots in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries know so little about their past and even less about those who controlled their history? Is the historical narrative the only legitimate medium through which the past can be made known? Are novelists and historians as far apart as convention has it? In an age when history grounds any claims to national status, these are important questions and they have implications for how Scottish history has evolved, and how Scottish identity has been understood up to the present day. Scottish history is not simply the distillation of Scotland's past: authors shape what we know and how we judge our forebears. The Caledoniad: The Making of Scottish History (John Donald, 2024) by Dr. Catriona MacDonald investigates who decided which Scottish voices of the past would be heard in history's pages and which would ultimately be silenced. It sketches a picture of a narrow and privileged cultural elite that responded belatedly to a more democratic age and only slowly embraced women writers and the interests of ‘average' Scots.

Scotsman in New York NEW YORK is, undoubtedly, one of the most exciting cities in the world and I can't believe that I have just visited for the first time. Thankfully I have now been to see this amazing metropolis for myself and this Podcast shares that experience with you. From screeching Police sirens to bellowing bagpipes, this was an adventure worth waiting for. It is only a few weeks since I returned from New York and I was absolutely buzzing after my first visit to the Big Apple, to such an extent that I'm inserting this bonus Podcast detailing my experience in the city and the excitement of being part of Tartan week when thousands of Scots pour into the metropolis to join thousands more diaspora Scots who come from all over America to enjoy this bagpiping, drum thumping, highland dancing, whisky drinking throng. It is incredible. The Tartan Parade actually marched up 6th Avenue, waved on by thousands of people who lined the streets. Of course this was just one part of my journey, and I share with you the wonderful times I had at Met Cloisters, Central Park where I recorded a busker singing John Lennon's song, Imagine, not far from where he used to live and was killed. I visit the Empire State Building, the Vanderbilt experience and the Peak restaurant at Hudson Yards, and all at a height of 1400 feet. I walk the Highline and take a gastronomic tour around Chelsea Market. Well, let me share my experience of New York with you, not just Tartan week but my overall visit which was a whirlwind of both tourist sites and off the beaten track places which were just as wonderful.

Well, we have a gem of an episode here, where we look into the life of James MacLaine and William Plunkett.  We follow what we can of their births and young lives as we discuss how the pair came to be the Gentleman Bandits that they were, what famous people they robbed, how they got caught and their final, if quite different, fates.  We also discuss what a blunderbuss is and why it would make a good brand name for underwear, whether James is related to John of the Die Hard Franchise, and so much more in this 1700's historical episode of the Family Plot Podcast!Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/family-plot--4670465/support.

When we think about Mary, Queen of Scots, I think it's fair to say that we tend to think of a woman whose reign in Scotland was nothing but a disaster. A queen who couldn't find a decent husband, had no real authority and ended her life on an executioners scaffold in England. Well, while aspects of this assessment may in part be true, there has to be more to the story. To discuss this fascinating woman with me, I am pleased to welcome historian Dr Anna Turnham onto the podcast. We discuss Mary's earliest days to her time in France, her return to Scotland, the disasters with Darnley and Bothwell and of course her abdication, but we also discuss the positives, what did Mary do well? Where did she actually succeed in her queenship? Well to find out, carry on listening…

Gliff, the latest novel from Ali Smith, forms the first part of a duology; its title, the Scots word for a glimpse or shock, will be echoed but not replicated in next year's Glyph. In a dystopian, Kafkaesque fictional lanscape, Smith explores how we make meaning and are made by it, and what it would actually mean for the next generation to sort out our increasingly toxic world.Smith read from the novel and was in conversation with artist and filmmaker Sarah Wood.Find more events at the Bookshop: https://lrb.me/eventspodGet the book: https://www.londonreviewbookshop.co.uk/stock/gliff-ali-smith Hosted on Acast.

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for May 10, 2025 is: uncanny • un-KAN-ee • adjective Uncanny is typically used to describe something that is strange or unusual in a way that is surprising or difficult to understand. It can also describe something that seems to have a supernatural character or origin. // The child has an uncanny ability to recognize streets and locations she's seen only once or twice before. // The lights suddenly flickered, and we were both overcome with an eerie, uncanny feeling. See the entry > Examples: "... as Nelson Moultrie walked through the cemetery and observed trees growing in ways that resemble the shapes of people, like one that bore an uncanny resemblance to a pair of legs, she said she's already felt the presence of the people buried there." — Laura Liebman, The Post & Courier (Charleston, South Carolina), 21 Mar. 2025 Did you know? Uncanny describes that which unsettles us, such as disquieting observations, or mysterious situations and circumstances. Strip the word of its prefix, though, and you're left with canny, a word that can be used as a synonym for clever and prudent. While canny and uncanny don't appear to be antonyms, they both come from an early Scots word canny meaning "free from risk; wise, prudent, cautious." And in Scots, canny has for centuries had a secondary meaning more similar to that of its mysterious cousin: the Oxford English Dictionary defines a sense of the word used chiefly in negative constructions (e.g., “not canny”) to describe what is not safe to be involved with, or more broadly, what is not in accordance with what is right or natural, as in "the idea is not canny." Rather uncanny.

In this final installment of the life of Mary, Queen of Scots, we follow Mary's flight from Scotland into England, the domain of her cousin, Queen Elizabeth, in 1568. Historians believe that Mary thought - or at least hoped - that her cousin would assist in returning her to the throne in Scotland, but instead, Mary and her retinue would spend a strange decade and a half imprisoned - in some of the finest homes in England. In the custody of the Earl of Shrewsbury and his wife, Bess of Hardwick, Mary gradually became a unifying figure for English Catholics chafing under the rule of a Protestant queen. A prolific letter writer throughout her time in the custody of Elizabeth, she became enmeshed in the Babington Plot to assassinate her cousin in 1586. She was convicted at trial and sentenced to death; a situation that Elizabeth struggled with. She feared the precedent it set and certainly the impacts on her conscience and her relations with James VI of Scotland, Mary's son and Elizabeth's eventual successor, but in the end, she signed the death warrant of her cousin. Mary, Queen of Scots, one-time Queen of France, and aspirant to the English throne, was executed by beheading on February 8, 1587. Listen ad-free at patreon.com/trashyroyalspodcast.

"I think the Scottish accent's been voted one of the sexiest, but it's also, some of them, one of the most disgusting" - CraigThis bonus episode was a hilarious trip down memory lane. Craig and I just let loose with our Scottish accents, sharing stories about growing up in Glasgow that we've never really talked about on the main show. The cultural differences, the misunderstandings with Americans, and the unique character of Glasgow compared to the rest of Scotland - it all came pouring out in our natural voices. I think listeners will get a real kick out of hearing us in our element, not holding back on the Scottish slang and experiences that shaped us before we moved abroad. It's raw, it's authentic, and it's Glasgow through and through.What's fascinating is how our identities are still so tied to Scotland even though we've both been away for decades. The way we slip in and out of our accents, the experiences that only make sense to other Scots - it's like carrying a piece of home with you that never quite fades, even when you have no plans to move back. This episode really captures that weird space of being proudly Scottish while also acknowledging why we chose to build our lives elsewhere.Key Takeaways: - The difficulties of being understood with a Scottish accent in America and how Niall had to adapt his speech to be understood- How Americans have particular difficulty understanding Scottish accents, especially with words like "bottle of water" - Discussion of Scottish comedy (Kevin Bridges, Still Game) and how specific cultural references don't translat"Send me a message!"7 Bridges Brewing Co. - An award winning Vietnamese craft brewery from Da Nang, with breweries across Vietnam!Rabbit Hole Irish Sports Bar - Check out their new location on Tran Nao with the best views in the city over Landmark 81!

In this second installment of the life of Mary, Queen of Scots, Alicia follows Mary back to Scotland after her tenure as teenaged Queen of France. A young widow, she returned to a Scotland that had gone through the Reformation, making her Catholicism a notable feature. In 1565, after about four years back at home, she married her half-cousin, the ambitious Lord Darnley, which produced a son the following year. The marriage was troubled, with Darnley openly seeking to become King and not just the Queen's consort, and to succeed Mary should she - and he certainly was not plotting to make this happen, no no - die. The problem resolved itself in February of 1567, when the home that Darnley was staying in suddenly exploded and his body, and that of one of his servants, was discovered nearby, seemingly untouched. It was speculated that they had been smothered, and suspicion soon fell on James Hepburn, 4th Earl of Bothwell, a confidant to the Queen and an ambitious climber himself. The whole thing was hugely suspicious, and Mary's reign fully fractured just months later when she married Bothwell. Listen ad-free at patreon.com/trashyroyalspodcast.

Mary, Queen of Scots led a life that was anything but dull. Queen of Scotland aged just six days old, she would eventually become queen of France, then return to her native homeland to take up the crown that had been hers almost from the day of her birth. In this weeks episode, I chat to Dr Sarah Morris, known to many of you as the Tudor travel guide, who is also my co-director on Simply Tudor Tours, our historic tour company. Our May 2026 tour explore Marys life, and so today, Sarah and I discuss the many different palaces and castles she inhabited, from the imposing medieval Stirling Castle to the renaissance Palace of Holyroodhouse, which remains the official Scottish residence of the monarch to this day!

"I planned to do six months. I planned to do like Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, that kind of bit of Southeast Asia and never left Vietnam.... It's so unlike any other place I've ever been." - Craig HaggartThis episode was a long time coming, and it was more than worth the wait. I've been trying to get Craig on the show for over six months, and sitting down with someone who not only shares my hometown but also so many formative experiences was something truly special. As two Glaswegians in Saigon, the nostalgia and humor flowed naturally—and maybe a bit too much football chat!What struck me most was Craig's vulnerability and openness. From his journey as a gay man in Glasgow to finding community in Vietnam, and navigating love, culture, and identity—he told it all with humility and a cracking sense of humor. I know listeners will take something valuable from this episode, whether it's a laugh, a moment of reflection, or simply a reminder of how far we can come when we step into the unknown.Key Takeaways: The chaotic beauty of Vietnam – “It's so unlike any other place… the smells, the lights, the busyness—it's sensory overload.”Coming out in Glasgow at 14 – Craig candidly shares what it was like to come out young and navigate high school as a gay teen.Vietnamese culture and family acceptance – Insight into being part of a liberal Vietnamese family and his relationship with his Northern-born boyfriend.Scottish identity and sectarianism abroad – A raw discussion on how football-related sectarianism follows Scots globally, and how i"Send me a message!"7 Bridges Brewing Co. - An award winning Vietnamese craft brewery from Da Nang, with breweries across Vietnam!Rabbit Hole Irish Sports Bar - Check out their new location on Tran Nao with the best views in the city over Landmark 81!

This week, we begin our Trashy Royals journey into the life and times of Mary, Queen of Scots. She has been a long time coming as a missing link on our ride of the naughty nobles in her time. In this episode, we journey from Mary's birth in 1542, with her becoming Queen of Scotland at the tender age of 6 days old to Mary, three days before her 18th birthday as a widow of the King of France. Her first husband, Francoise II does pass away just as the couple's reign was beginning, leaving Mary with an uncertain future with not much else to do but come on back to the country that is rightfully hers in 1560. In the middle of Mary's lifepath from 1542 to 1560, there are so many European power plays and plots, trashy uncles on all sides, a girl squad forming, religious strife in all the ways, an evil Mother-in-Law, and a little astrology too. Mary's story really does contain multitudes. Her story begins here. Get ready for a very trashy ride as this one has everything you adore in a royals romp!
