Episode 83: Edwin Rose

Episode 83: Edwin Rose. This week Emma takes us back to 1889 for the tale of Edwin Rose, who was killed on Goatfell mountain in the Isle of Arran. Emma tells us of the circumstances leading up to Edwin's death and the subsequent manhunt for the main suspect. We hear how the details of the case might not be as clear cut as first thought, and we hear how local superstitions helped create an odd interlude to the case.
