This week we have the tale of the two Maggie's.

When I read that I could tie these two extraordinary women together in one episode, I jumped at the chance!

First up is Margaret Dickson - knicknamed as "Half Hangit' Maggie" (half hanged Maggie for those not familiar with Scots).

And second of all is Margaret Todd.

One of these Maggie's, most Scots could tell you about. The other, many have never even heard her name before. Well, before now!

Enjoy!

Hey folks,

This series is a long time coming.

To fully understand the Covenanters, as I've attempted to do for the last 6 years, I unfortunately have to start at the very beginning. The roots of the tree.

So in this episode we focus on :

The Protestant Reformation

James VI & I

Charles I

The Signing of the National Covenant

This will be a 5 or 6 part series.

Strap yourself in - it's going to be wild!
