When history says "they were just friends," what do we say back?

We say: SHUT UP IDIOT HAVE YOU READ THEIR GAY LITTLE DIARIES?

Ahem. Sorry. I get so passionate.

This week's episode is about two women who lived in a castle together, wrote each other poetry, decorated each other's rooms, said they openly loved and were obsessed with one another in diaries and funerary monuments, and, after refusing to marry or have children, spent all their money (which was a lot) on trips to Europe together.

Historians call them "romantic friends." A phrase that I find...hilarious. (Is a "romantic friend" my friend I want to...fuck? And what, sort of, does that mean?)

It's only by diving into the long, storied past of Highland lesbianism that we're going to find out. If anyone holds the secrets to romantic friendship it's Elyza Fraser and Mary Bristow.

So break out the single malts and your snazziest kilt/sporan combo, because the Scottish lesbian water is a pipingly warm human temperature, and it's time to dive in.
