In 16th-century Scotland, the legend of Sawney Bean unfolds as a chilling tale of savagery and retribution. Set against the rugged cliffs of Bennane Head, this dark folktale follows a pair of outcasts who forge a brutal existence far from society’s reach. Their choices spark a reign of terror that grips the coastal lowlands, leaving a trail of fear and mystery in their wake. As whispers of their deeds spread, the forces of justice, driven by a resolute king, set out to confront the horror hidden in the shadows. Vividly capturing the era’s unrest and superstition, the story weaves a gripping narrative of survival, defiance, and the consequences of abandoning humanity’s bonds. This haunting saga, rooted in Scottish lore, explores the thin line between civilization and chaos, culminating in a dramatic reckoning that echoes as a cautionary fable.

Macabrium is produced by Macabrium Creative and hosted by Megan Alda and Derek Stephen Brown, with writing and research by Chloë Kibbe, Megan Alda and Derek Stephen Brown.
