My father is Scottish, (clans being Sinclair, and Kyles of Bute) and English mother, I was born in England. Very little is taught about the Scottish history, in any detail. This is confounded by Hollywood and false stories muddying the facts. I really appreciate the plain language, and clearly told narratives,of often misleading stories about Scottish history, actually told by an informed Scotsman. I have long been fascinated by my family history and the complexities of Scottish culture and history that are often oversimplified, this is brilliant and really informative account, delivered clearly and professionally, in short enough snippets to absorb the information without becoming too complicated to understand. Inspired me to research further and I have lost many an hour binging this, as without the family connection and my personal interest, the stories are amazing, brutal at times, but really highlight the challenges, risks, bravery and resilience of a nation long under occupation after a number of discarded agreements and documents, stating independence. Not getting into politics but this is a great account to establish understanding. Very interesting. Anyway thanks Owen, I can’t stop listening. I would happily pay a monthly fee for this content. Thank you.

Thanks Owen- Brilliant!
