In the heart of Dunning, Scotland, stands a rough stone monument that has puzzled visitors for centuries. Painted across its face are the words: “Maggie Wall was burned here in 1657 as a witch.”

But who was Maggie Wall? Why is she remembered when the names of women truly executed in Dunning have been forgotten?

This dramatised documentary blends historical fact with artistic licence, weaving real voices, actors, and sound design. It honours the women lost to Scotland’s witch trials while exploring the enduring mystery of Maggie Wall.

With contributions from writer Geoff Holder. Special thanks to the Dunning Parish Historical Society, Demi Sutherland, Ryan Cotter, Richard Zak, Kieran Foley-Hall, who helped bring this story to life.

Join me on 13th September, for a brand new experimental 6-part series, Let’s WALK About, voted for by YOU, the listeners.

In this series, I’ll be taking you on walks, starting in Dunning, Scotland.

Exploring stories and reflections that surface along the way, expect atmosphere, history, and honesty as I try something different from my usual one-on-one interviews.

This trailer gives you a taste of what’s coming. Six walks. Six stories. One season to see where the journey leads.

Let’s WALK About starts soon. Put your headphones in and come along.

If you have any suggestions for a future walk, drop me a message on Instagram!
