  • Episode 1: World Cup Dreams, The Mystery of Scottish Banknotes and Myth Busting
    Jun 8 2026

    Welcome to the first episode of This is Scotland.

    Join Ally Heather and Coinneach MacLeod, The Hebridean Baker, as they explore the stories, symbols and surprising truths that make Scotland unique.

    Why was Scotland's worst World Cup performance one of its most memorable? Which off-pitch Scottish football achievement we should be really proud of? Is Scottish money really legal tender? And when should you wear a kilt?

    Along the way, Coinneach reveals the surprising story behind him helping design the Scotland national team's badge, while the cheery hosts tackle some of Scotland's biggest debates - including the enduring battle between Glasgow and Edinburgh to be the best Scottish city.

    From football folklore and national identity to island secrets, unexpected history and a healthy dose of myth-busting, this is Scotland as you've never heard it before. Fàilte!
