Over Everything Scotland

Scotland: tiny country, massive opinions, national animal is a unicorn. It has given the world whisky, the steam engine, modern economics, the telephone, and the deep-fried Mars bar. Make of that what you will.Everything Scotland is the podcast that covers all of it, the history, the food, the music, the landscapes, the myths, and the occasional philosophical crisis. Thoroughly researched. Warmly told. One Scots word per episode, whether you want one or not.Come for the castles. Stay for the haggis.

The Highland Games - Sport, Spectacle & the World's Heaviest Telephone Pole

Lesley Kennedy is not a sporty person. She has not voluntarily participated in sport since a game of netball in primary school and has no intention of starting now. She is, however, completely in love with the Highland Games, which tells you everything you need to know about the Highland Games. This week: a man the size of a wardrobe throws a hundred-and-seventy-five-pound pine tree, and is judged on straightness. The pipe bands that sound like a domestic dispute until suddenly they don't. Highland dancing that is far more athletic than the word "dancing" suggests. The philosophical implications of the twelve o'clock. A brief but important note on kilts. And how Scotland's emigrants carried the caber toss to seventy countries worldwide. Our Scots Word of the Week: braw. Have you been to a Highland Games in Scotland or anywhere else in the world? Got a story, a memory, or a very strong opinion about the caber toss? Send it over to hello@everythingscotland.com [hello@everythingscotland.com]. We'd love to hear from you.

Islay & Fèis Ìle - The Island That Tastes Like the Sea, the Peat, and Everything Wonderful

Lesley has just visited Islay during Fèis Ìle, the Islay Festival of Music and Malt, the annual event that turns this island of 3,200 people into the whisky capital of the world for ten days every May. In this episode: the ferry crossing that looked like a film, Port Ellen on a warm May evening, an Ardnahoe guide who made everyone laugh while teaching them things, the Paps of Jura from across the water at Bunnahabhain, an accidental stop at Islay's first rum distillery (the Old Lemonade Factory), a parade through Port Ellen led by a pipe band with the festival committee in 1980s shell suits, and, most unexpectedly, afternoon tea with the festival committee in the Gaelic Centre while husband James performed close-up magic at the tables. The freshest, most personal episode of the series. Our Scots Word of the Week: dram. Want to be part of it? Send your Scotland Stories to hello@everythingscotland.com
