We’re sharing the first episode of a new podcast series we’ve just released called Weight of Sand. This is an audio drama exploring the life and lore of Isobel Gowdie. Isobel was accused of witchcraft in 1662. She lived in Auldearn in the Highlands of Scotland and her witchcraft confessions were detailed and vivid. 30 years after her trial, a nearby village of the Culbin was destroyed in a storm and covered in sand dunes. The sand was so extensive the land was called ‘The Sahara of Scotland’. Folklore blamed Isobel for cursing this land as revenge. Weight of Sand explores Isobel, her life, and the environment she is said to have destroyed.  Listen to more Weight of Sand episodes at:  Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/weight-of-sand/id1632916019 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/6RD2r2aQJTXngkFPcvFgcq Pocket Casts: https://pca.st/podcast/815949a0-df45-013a-d9e1-0acc26574db2 Podcast Addict: https://podcastaddict.com/podcast/4024035 CastBox: https://castbox.fm/channel/Weight-of-Sand-id4994068 Stitcher: https://www.stitcher.com/show/weight-of-sand Amazon: https://music.amazon.co.uk/podcasts/7761809b-fe11-4ea2-9491-8c3c6659fd26/weight-of-sand Website: https://www.carryingstream.com/weightofsand/
