Description
Witch hunts ripped through Scotland for over 150 years in the 1500s with at least 4,000 accused and with many women's fates sealed by a grizzly execution of strangulation, followed by burning. With testimony from a small army of experts, 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?
