Pt2 of our two part mini-series brings you the Trials & Retributions that resulted from the 1820 Radical Uprising.
Part 1 covers the events leading up to the Uprising. You can find it here: A Story of Forgotten Heroes. We would recommend you listen to that episode first. This episode covers the courtroom drama of the trials of the Radicals – Baird and Hardie among others – and their eventual fate, brought to life by our historian & storyteller Tom Dowds.
Fiona and Marlene have been visiting some of the key locations of the tale, including the spine tingling sight of the plaque in Stirling’s Broad Street reading the last words before their execution: “Remember Baird and Hardie”.
