Edged in Stone - The dark history of Sutherland (+ Travel Tips)

Tremula Network Season 7 Episode 90

'Edged in Stone' is part of the series A Year in Scotland. This is the August episode.

In this story, we're heading north to Sutherland. Our journey begins near Culloden Battlefield, leads north past Inverness and the Cromarty Firth, and makes stops in Dornoch and Dunrobin Castle. Along the way, we dive into the history of witch trials in Scotland, we learn more about the Sutherland Clearances of the 19th century, and we explore what modern-day energy policies have to do with the historic Highland Clearances.
