1820 Radical Uprising - Part 2: Trials and Retribution

Second of our two part mini series on the 1820 Radical Uprising.  Part 1 covers the events leading up to the Uprising and the Radical War which followed.  You can find it here https://scottishindypod.scot/scottish-history/1820-radical-uprising/  and we would recommend you listen to that episode first.

This episode covers the courtroom drama of the trials of the Radicals and their eventual fate, brought to life by our storyteller Tom Dowds.  Fiona and Marlene also report from some of the key locations of the tale, including the spine tingling visit to the plaque in Stirling's Broad Street where Baird and Hardie uttered their last words - "Remember Baird and Hardie".
