Scottish Murders

Dive into twenty turbulent tales of murder. From foul, dark deeds at the court of Mary, Queen of Scots, to the great Victorian trials of Madeline Smith and Dr Edawrd Pitchard (‘The Human Crocodile’).

Explore the grisly exploits of the body snatchers Burke and Hare; and the still undetected ‘Bible John’, who terrorised a famous Glasgow dancehall in the 1960s.

From the busy streets of Edinburgh and Glasgow to the remote, desolate beauty of the Scottish Highlands, these cases are in turn chilling and heart-breaking, but never less than fascinating.
