Episode 18:Tall tales of the cannibals of Scotland
Episode 27
Monday, 2 November, 2020

This episode is all about two of the most famous groups of cannibals that lived in Scotland. Well as far as we can tell anyway! These tales now things of myth and folklore, that we tell our children to scare them into behaving....Yeah some of us do that. Christie Cleek is a mythical Scottish cannibal who lived during a famine in the mid-fourteenth century. The legend of Sawney Bean first appeared in the British chapbooks(rumour magazines of the day). His family was an ever growing ever hungry, cannibal group of about 45-48 people strong! Enjoy! s
