Picture this. Static cars, idling engines, angry horns.

Now, picture you, zooming past it all.

Light and breezy.

Ah, the sweet feeling of whizzing past traffic.

Hello. Hello and welcome to Stories of Scotland, a podcast where we take a look at the history and heritage of Scotland.

Well, we usually do. I'm Jenny. And I'm Annie. And yes, this week we're taking a break from our usual format to bring you two of our favourite mini-mits that we have found during our research for various episodes.

Yes, and the reason for doing this is that we have been absolutely overwhelmed by the kind

words and support that we have received from all around the world for

our wee podcast. We have had listeners reach out from all over the world, from just down the road

in Dingwall to America, Canada, Germany, New Zealand and Australia and Japan. Yes, it's so

heartwarming to see that people from all across the globe feel a very special connection with Scotland

and want to learn more about the history and heritage of this intriguing country.

We appreciate every single one of you listening and it makes making this podcast worth it.

And many of you tell us that you can't get enough and wish that there was more content.

And some of you have even been so kind as to ask if you could support us in our efforts with

the podcast.

And so we have created a Patreon for just this.

Make it possible for both of these wishes to be fulfilled.

Just call me your Fairy Godmother.
