Very interesting and sensible storytelling

Published on Jun, 2024

I had a great time with the narrated tour by Kat. The facts were interesting but not overly dry and "textbook"-focused. Focused more on the storytelling aspect, which I really liked.

This your was so interesting and full of history I had no idea about. If you are visiting Scotland and want background of the witchcraft panics, I highly recommend this audio tour. Clear audio and simple app to use.
