It wouldn't be Scottish folklore without a monster or two, and Graeme, Mila, Roisin and Rebecca have crammed four of them into this episode. This week, hear all about a haunting washerwoman, rap battles with the Blue Men, a vampire who prowled the streets of 1950's Glasgow, and a loch monster who woke up and chose violence.
