Backstory

Three consecutive alarm clocks failed to wake Jasper MacLeod from his recurring dream—the same vivid nightmare where he witnessed the 1544 burning of Edinburgh through the eyes of a terrified blacksmith's apprentice. What began as childhood night terrors evolved into an inexplicable ability to experience historical events as if he'd lived them, complete with period-accurate smells, sounds, and emotions that no textbook could provide. Desperate to understand these temporal episodes, he abandoned his engineering studies to pursue history, hoping academic research might explain why he could taste the smoke from Mary King's Close or feel the cobblestones beneath his feet during events centuries before his birth. Now he channels these impossibly authentic visions into his tours, sharing details so precise and personal that visitors often ask if he's descended from the very people whose stories he tells.
