Scottish Murders is such a hidden gem in true crime. I love the balance between storytelling and respect for the victims—it’s eerie, informative, and always keeps me hooked. If you’re looking for something a little different in true crime, this one’s a must-listen.
One of my favourite podcasts ever and my only criticism is that there are not episodes daily!! You do a sensitive, informative and wonderful job, keep up the great work!!
Love the host, detailed cases and great guests
Well researched but waaaay too many annoying adds during the play! Should just play adds at the start & end as it is very disruptive.
The topic itself sounds gruesome but Dawn delivers the facts and commentary in a really enjoyable way. It immerses you in the story whilst respecting the victims. I love the mixture of solved and unsolved. I love when new episodes appear in my feed. Keep up the brilliant work.
