The Ardlamont Mystery

In 1893, a young English heir is killed during a shooting trip at Ardlamont House in Scotland. The prime suspect is one of the men he traveled with—Alfred John Monson—but the evidence is murky, the testimony is tangled, and the case becomes a Victorian-era media storm. In this episode, we trace the timeline, the trial, and the unsettling questions that remain—ending with Scotland’s infamous verdict: not guilty, but not cleared. The Ardlamont murder is still one of the country’s most chilling unresolved mysteries, where the truth feels close… and still out of reach.
