Today we’re setting off on a journey through the misty glens and rugged coastlines of Scotland—a land where history and legend intertwine.

Joining me today are Christopher Sleigh and Euan House, two incredible storytellers and partners of ours in the region. Together, we unravel the history of the clan structure, explore the difference between a tartan and a kilt, take a walk through Scotland’s local food markets, and of course talk a little bit about Outlander too.

Whether you’re drawn to the charm of the Highlands or the cultural pulse of its cities, this episode will inspire your next Scottish adventure!
