The Tale of Sawney Bean: Scotland’s Cannibal Cave Clan

This week on The Most Dangerous Podcast, James takes you deep into one of the darkest legends in Scottish folklore — the gruesome tale of Sawney Bean, the head of a monstrous clan of cannibals said to have murdered and eaten over a thousand unsuspecting travellers. Hidden in a sea cave on the Ayrshire coast, this family of flesh-eaters evaded capture for decades, sparking fear across the kingdom.

But how much of the story is truth — and how much is legend? Was Sawney Bean a real person or a tool of political propaganda? Join us as we dive into the blood-soaked myth, the disturbing details, and the legacy that still haunts Scotland to this day.

If you like horror history, cannibal cults, and terrifying true crime folklore — this one’s for you.

New episodes every Sunday at 8pm on YouTube, Spotify, and everywhere you get your podcasts.
