The old horse pulled the baker's van along its daily route, stopping and waiting for its usual customers in the peaceful village. But the driver's seat was empty, and the cart was drenched with blood...So began the Blairingone Bread Cart Murder, a gruesome case of highway robbery that ended with poacher Joseph Bell being hanged for ambushing John Miller and blasting him with a shotgun. This is just one of the bloody crimes that shocked the peaceful citizens of nineteenth-century Perthshire. Among the files liberated from the archives are: The Dunning murder of 1818, Scotland's oldest unsolved homicide; The six-month nationwide police manhunt for the murderer of a tollkeeper at Braco and the labourer who killed his former landlady near Blackford; The trio of armed robbers who threatened to burn a family alive - but escaped with only forged banknotes. There are also revelations from inside Perth's three successive jails - the High Street Tolbooth, the Speygate, and the modern prison - with secrets of daring escape attempts that didn't quite make it. The rogues' gallery includes footpads, wife-beaters, brutal aristocrats and ruthlessly violent whisky smugglers. There are tales of arson, assault, and theft - with one man finding that stealing sheep led straight to the gallows. All the executions that took place in nineteenth century Perth are described, some with heart-rending detail on the prisoners' last moments. The illustrations include the never-before-published death warrants for all those who were sentenced to be 'launched into eternity'.

In March 1866, Janet Rogers travelled to the Perthshire-based farm of her brother, William Henderson, to help with chores while he looked for a new domestic servant. Three days later she was found dead in the farm kitchen, killed by multiple blows from an axe. Ploughman James Crichton was suspected of the atrocity, and after a lengthy investigation was arrested and tried in Perth, with the case duly found non-proven. Was Crichton the guilty party? If not, why did William Henderson try to frame him? Why was the previous servant on the farm sacked, and why did she wait eight months to accuse Crichton of being responsible? And what led to Henderson being driven insane, ultimately to end his days in a Perthshire lunatic asylum? The murder investigation remains the UK's oldest unsolved murder case. Just who was the killer at Mount Stewart Farm?

On 28 November 2004, banker and father-of-two Alistair Wilson was shot three times on his doorstep in a killing more commonly associated with inner city gang wars than a sleepy seaside town in the Scottish Highlands. All these years later, the question remains: why? Who would wish to kill this respectable husband and family man in such a brutal fashion? Was it simply a tragic case of mistaken identity, or did someone have reason to end Alistair's life? And what was the significance of the envelope handed to him before he was fatally wounded? Over the years, lines of enquiry have been investigated and dismissed, gossip has spread, theories offered and rumours debated at length. And yet, so long after Alistair's death, no arrest has ever been made and precious few motives have been made public. In this gripping true crime investigation, Peter Bleksley, top ex-undercover cop and The Chief on Channel 4's Hunted, strives to uncover the truth and hunt down Alistair's killer. He travels to Scotland, speaks to experts, and draws on his decades of investigative experience in order to provide new insight into Scotland's most mysterious murder case.

In December 1999, as Scotland prepared for the biggest Hogmanay of all time, a gruesome discovery was made by a police diving team on a training exercise in Loch Lomond. One by one, limbs from a cadaver were found and brought to the surface. Days later, a severed head was washed up on a beach in western Scotland and forensically matched with the limbs. Police soon had a prime suspect for the murder - William Beggs. But how had they been able to ascertain that it was Beggs right from the start? Just eight years earlier, Beggs had met Brian McQuillan at a disco and the pair had returned to Beggs' flat. He had set upon McQuillan with a knife, slashing him severely on the body but brave McQuillan escaped with his life by leaping through a first-floor window. Beggs was jailed for six years for the attack and, once released, was kept under the watchful eye of Strathclyde police. This in-depth and fascinating book investigates Beggs from his somewhat ordinary days as a member of the Young Conservatives through to his eventual conviction and incareration for the horrific murder of Barry Wallace. It examines how he managed to create an air of respectability around himself while perpetrating the most vicious of crimes; it looks at how, following the attack on McQuillan, police became aware that they had a serial killer in the making on their hands and how, from behind bars, Beggs still manages to make headlines.
