Tartan was once banned. People risked punishment for wearing it. Today, it is recognised around the world as one of Scotland’s most powerful symbols. In this episode, Ally Heather and Coinneach MacLeod, the Hebridean Baker, unravel the remarkable story of how a forbidden fabric became the cloth of rebellion, identity and pride.

They also explore Scotland's witch trials, the campaign to remember those accused of witchcraft, and the powerful stories behind one of the darkest chapters in Scottish history. Finally, Coinneach takes a delicious journey through Scotland's culinary heritage, revealing the origins of iconic dishes, forgotten recipes and why Scotland's food deserves far more recognition than it often receives.

Whether you live in Scotland, have Scottish roots, or simply love the country, This Is Scotland is your place to feel connected to the real Scotland.
