Description

This week, the lads welcome back the brilliant Dr Andrew Mackillop to tell the story of the most audacious scam in Scotland’s history. It takes quite a lot to just make up a country, name yourself ruler and then sell land rights to that imaginary place. Well, that’s just the start of the story of a man named Gregor McGregor. 

 

Now, that said, there is a video Neil plays Dave that will forever haunt his nightmares in Part 1. The man gives with one hand and takes with the other.
