The Ghost of the Lammermuir Hills

In 1859, Scottish writer Catherine Crowe published a remarkable story said to have been told to her by a sheep farmer named Sandy Shiels.Decades earlier, on an isolated farm in the Lammermuir Hills, a young farm servant named Rob set out through the winter landscape for the village of Gifford.

He never came home.

But in the months that followed, Rob’s disappearance became connected to the strange behaviour of his sheepdog, Coullie.

This episode explores Catherine Crowe’s The Sheep-Farmer’s Story - a haunting 19th-century account of disappearance, suspicion and a remarkably loyal dog, set among the remote hills of southern Scotland.

Was there something supernatural happening at the Shiels farm, or can the events be explained without it?

As always, I’ll leave that for you to decide.
