It’s the spookiest season of the year, and today I’m joined by co-host of the Generally Spooky History Podcast, Eilidh MacRae, to talk about Scotland’s very spooky past. Eilidh and her husband Kieran are hosts of the Generally Spooky History Podcast where they deliver a different spooky Scottish tale each week.
In this episode, we discuss a few theories about why Scotland might have such a haunted history, then Eilidh treats us to several eerie stories of hauntings and spirits — even one that is local to South Lanarkshire, just up the road from the Carmichael Estate.
Other topics we dare to talk about are the frightening Nuckelavee, the horse-like demon of Orcadian folklore, and the location frequently called the “most haunted place in Scotland,” Mary King’s Close.
Thanks so much to Eilidh for joining Carmichael Clan Radio on this special Halloween episode. To hear more about Scotlands’ haunted history, check out the Generally Spooky History Podcast by following the links below.
