    Like a wee dram for the soul
    This show is great! It provides a great overview of Scottish history, with some classic jabs and some great recommendations on a dram to go with each show. Listen for the history. Listen for the laughs. Most of all, listen for recommendations of that golden beverage that Scotland is famous for!

    Looking forward to season two
    I’ve been a listener since episode one. The host is entertaining and does a great job of condensing the history of Scotland and making it easy to understand. I am excited that he is back with season two.

    Learn Scottish History with a Laugh
    Thouroughly enjoying the Mountebank History of Scotland. I was looking for a podcast with a basic overview of Scottish history, and was delighted to find this. The host is very funny (although some of the jokes contain contemporary Scottish and UK references I don't always get). And he knows his history. I'm learninig a lot!

    A slightly irreverent history of Scotland
    Seriously, there’s good history here if you’re not interested in every jot and tittle of chronology. The host is a stand up comedian, so he can’t help himself by lacing the history with asides and contemporary references. I find him very funny. (Being from the US, I struggle a bit with his Scots accent but I get 90% of it.)
