According to the Clan Lands Instagram account, the podcast is, “Based on the Scottish Clans, their history, culture and the landscape of Scotland… if these two don’t get lost or drunk. Or both.”
They’ve finished the project…for now
The pair have been immersing themselves in Scottish history while visiting historical sites and buildings, speaking to people, and learning all they can for their new venture.
