  • Secrets, Theories, and Slander: Who Killed Mary Gunn?

    Secrets, Theories, and Slander: Who Killed Mary Gunn?
    Apr 6 2026
    In this episode of Scottish Murders, Dawn covers the perplexing, unsolved 1913 murder of Mary Spear Gunn at Portencross. Drawing on Stephen Brown’s meticulously researched book, "Who Killed Mary Gunn?", the story explores Mary’s life, her relationships, and the fateful night she was gunned down in the remote North Bank Cottage. Dawn walks listeners through the night’s chilling events, police investigations, suspects, and enduring mysteries, focusing on Stephen’s theory of the case. Was it a crime of passion, jealousy, or something more hidden? With lost evidence and rumours swirling around the small Ayrshire community, the episode unravels possible motives and suspects—leaving the question of Mary’s killer, and the roles of Andrew and Elizabeth Gibson, tantalisingly unanswered.

    Join Dawn as she invites you to consider the clues and form your own theory about this haunting century-old Scottish mystery.

With sensitivity and care, Dawn highlights Ellen’s struggle with deep melancholy, shedding light on the devastating effects of mental illness in a time when support was scarce.

  • When Tragedy Strikes Twice: Michelle Wenden and Dugald Campbell

    When Tragedy Strikes Twice: Michelle Wenden and Dugald Campbell
    Mar 24 2026
    Journey through tragedy, courage, and the enduring impact of violence with Dawn as she explores two Scottish cases that left lasting scars on families and communities. This episode is a sobering reflection on justice, loss, and the heroes who stand against chaos.

    🔎 3 key takeaways:
    The Ripple Effects of Violence: The murder of Michelle Wenden in 2004 didn’t just end a life—it uprooted a family and left her children traumatised, ultimately forcing them to flee the very community they returned to for safety. Dawn illustrates how violent acts echo far beyond the crime scene, touching every corner of victims’ families and reshaping lives forever.

    Justice and Its Failures: Despite the conviction and life sentence of Michelle’s killer, questions linger about the justice system’s ability to protect. With Robert McNeill’s violent history—and him being out on bail at the time of the attack—the episode raises a stark warning about systemic cracks that sometimes allow dangerous individuals to slip through.

    Courage Amid Chaos: Moving back in time, Dawn recounts the story of Dugald Campbell, the first Scottish police officer killed on duty, during the infamous Hogmanay Riots of 1811. Dugald’s determination to confront danger—despite warnings—underscores the bravery required of those who protect communities, and marks a poignant chapter in Edinburgh’s history.
