Description
Witch hunts ripped through Scotland for over 150 years, with at least 4,000 accused and many women's fates sealed by strangulation, followed by burning. Drawing on pen portraits of the women accused, trial transcripts, witness accounts and the documents that set the legal grounds for the hunts, this book creates a rich patchwork of tragic stories, helping us comprehend the underlying reasons for this terrible injustice, and raises the serious question - could it ever happen again?
