  • Love it!

    I like all the episodes but the one that hooked me the most was the 1st episode about the bothy and I loved the guy who was singing in it!

  • Fun and informative

    I’m a few episodes in, and have very much been enjoying the fun these ladies have with the subject matter while conveying facts of each topic. The Bothy episode hooked me, as I had always found these structures fascinating.

    Then… the Loch Ness episode… when she said, “You’re so vain, you probably think this canoe is about you,” I had a great chuckle.

    Fantastic show! I adore these smart and fun ladies!

  • Great content, great voice

    Coming back from Edinburgh recently doing a few excursions. I am fascinated with the culture of the Scots, especially the folk tales. I look forward to catching up to previous episodes but so far what I’ve heard it is brilliant.
