A Wee Bit Gothic - Steve The Unicorn (Sandy Drummond & Tam O’Shanter)
play

07/08/21 • 67 min

We’re lacking in rhymes, but here’s number 36 on sweet, sweet time.

We have a whine about live sports again this week, before Ms Magical Hat asks us about lesser known Scottish facts. Unicorns, bar brawls and urine soaked wool all feature.

Story times this week include a strange cold case from the Kingdom of Fife. No witnesses, no apparent motive, and cause of death an ancient martial arts move. Might you be the one to solve it?

We’re then riding down to the village of Alloway to attend a Gothic gathering at the Auld Kirk, as we explore the classic Scots poem Tam O’Shanter.
