Maggie Dickson

This week we're heading to Edinburgh for one of the wildest true stories I've ever heard. While exploring Scotland, I stumbled across the legend of Half-Hanged Maggie—a woman who was executed in 1724... and then woke up in her own coffin on the ride home.

The Queens get into Maggie Dickson's unbelievable story, from impossible laws surrounding marriage and pregnancy to public executions, body snatchers, and the legal loophole that let a woman officially declared dead go on to live another 40 years.

Along the way, we also talk about some of Edinburgh's incredible women, including the Edinburgh Seven and wartime physician Elsie Inglis, plus a few stories from my Scotland trip.

Raise a glass to Half-Hanged Maggie... and cheers, bitches!
