About this listen

In 18th-century Aberdeen, children began to vanish - hundreds of them. What at first appeared to be isolated disappearances soon revealed a dark and organised operation, led not by criminals in the shadows, but by the city’s own elite.

This episode uncovers the chilling story of Aberdeen’s child kidnapping scandal and the fight for justice led by Peter Williamson, known as Indian Peter.

With expert insight from RGU’s School of Law and Social Sciences, we examine what this case reveals about power, profit, and the cost of silence.
