About this listen

Craig welcomes back Hamish for an update! Hamish talks about his work as a historical consultant on the new Pictish short film, Red Thistles, and his incredibly popular Ancient Caledonia Camp in Scotland, where next year you can learn to build a full-size coracle (19th-25th July 2026)!


We also dive deep into our must-book joint course for 2026: Butchery and Tanning at the stunning Ancient Technology Centre in Dorset (Easter 2026). This is the last chance to book this immersive Viking Longhouse experience!


Plus: Hamish's journey from historical leatherworker to tattoo artist, the economics of running courses, and the importance of a good hip-hop playlist in the workshop.
