Episode 014—Do Meet Your Heroes (feat. Stuart Martin)
They say you shouldn't meet your heroes, but this week's guest was pleased to discover the real Rob Roy was as magnificent as the movie made him out to be. Join Adam, Nat and Stuart Martin on a trip back to the lowland/highland border for a bit of cattle thievery and blackmail (or as it's known in Gaelic: mal dhu)
Our lovely guest, Stuart
