The Scottish History Podcast

This week we have the tale of the two Maggie's.
When I read that I could tie these two extraordinary women together in one episode, I jumped at the chance!

First up is Margaret Dickson - knicknamed as "Half Hangit' Maggie" (half hanged Maggie for those not familiar with Scots).
And second of all is Margaret Todd.

One of these Maggie's, most Scots could tell you about. The other, many have never even heard her name before. Well, before now!

Enjoy!
