Show Notes

In this episode of the Scottish History Podcast, we travel across more than thirteen centuries of Scottish history to explore the lives of two remarkable Scots whose influence reached far beyond their homeland.

Our journey begins in the sixth century with Saint Columba, the Irish prince-turned-monk who crossed the sea to establish a monastery on the island of Iona Abbey.

The second half of the episode leaps forward to the nineteenth century and the life of James Clerk Maxwell, one of the greatest scientific minds in human history.

Join us as we explore the life and legacy of a saint who helped shape Scotland's soul and a scientist who helped unlock the secrets of the universe.
