In the first of a two-part look at the history of Aberdeenshire’s Fyvie Castle, Jackie is joined by historian Dr Andrew Lind to discuss the Wars of the Three Kingdoms.
Fought between 1639 and 1653 across Scotland, Ireland and England, these conflicts have largely been forgotten, but their consequences rippled through history. Combining the Reformation, the 1603 Union of the Crowns and the differing churches of the three kingdoms, the story of this time is one of politics, religion and rebellion.
In the next episode, meet some of the people who help to bring Fyvie’s history to life.
