    • Sawney Bean (LIVE) / by Rab Florence
      Feb 1 2021

      To mark the end of the first series, we're delighted to share a live version of Unspeakable Scotland (recorded at Bloody Scotland crime writing festival in 2019). Comedian and 'Burnistoun' creator Rab Florence joined Janice on stage to tell the grisly tale of Sawney Bean. Set in the 16th century, the story features washed-up body parts, a foul-smelling cave and a royal intervention.

    • The Crosshill Railway Murder of 1840 / by Professor Willy Maley
      Jan 18 2021

      On 14th May 1841, 50,000 people attended the last scene of crime execution in Scotland (the first in Glasgow since 1769). Dennis Doolan and Patrick Redding were sentenced to death for the alleged murder of John Green, an English ganger. The controversial killings took place in the context of industrial unrest during the construction of the Glasgow-Edinburgh railway line, which was dominated by Irish labour. Willy Maley (playwright, poet and Glasgow University professor) tells the story of the Crosshill Railway Murder of 1840 and explains its historical significance.
