The Legend of Half Hangit Maggie

I happened upon the tale of Half Hangit Maggie while visiting the city of Edinburgh, Scottland. I had entered Maggie Dickson’s Pub, just looking for a good pint and maybe something to eat. One of the drinks on the menu was called Half Hangit Maggie, and on the back side of the menu was the tale of how Margret Dickson had come to be known as Half Hangit Maggie.

I remembered the tale the other week, and in my research I found that there are several versions of this legend. I have taken the story, written my own version, and have herein recorded it. I hope you enjoy.
