Summary

In the first episode of Season 4, Annie and Jenny take a wander around the magnificent ruins of Elgin Cathedral. Known as the Lantern of the North for, as you’ll discover, many reasons - the cathedral has a rich and dark history, and as much of it as possible is squeezed into this episode! From those dreadful fires that won’t stop being set to sinking ships and wolf attacks, the Cathedral is more than just a tourist site. Listen in to hear the many tales of Elgin Cathedral at the start of our extended run-up to Halloween!Stories of Scotland is a multi-award winning Highland podcast, proudly recorded in Inverness in North of Scotland.
