For this weeks episode, there was a couple of requests, so I decided to fulfill these before I forget!First up, a request from Chuck Garnes, I talk about the bagpipes and give you a little background on them.Next up, is the national flower of Scotland, The Thistle.And finally, a request from (possibly) the youngest fan of the podcast, 4 Year old Finn Triggs-Miller! He requested I talk about the Unicorn, and why it is Scotlands national animal!http://scothistorypod.comhttp://patreon.com/scothistorypodscothistorypod@gmail.com Hosted on Acast.

I can't believe it has taken me so long to finally get round to doing this one!Requested ages ago due to me mentioning it in an episode WAY back at the beginning, here is my theory and comparisons that William Wallace was the inspiration behind the stories of Robin Hood.www.scothistorypod.comwww.patreon.com/scothistorypodscothistorypod@gmail.com Hosted on Acast.
